Women Empowerment

WEAKNESSES
Inefficient to Reduce Poverty
Transitory poor are neglected
Inefficient Sustainability
providers must provide services efficiently over time
drive for a “supply-push” of loans caused a focus on gaining new customers
Inefficient to Reach Women
Flawed Procedures
Best practices include
loan pricing policy based on cost-recovery basis
an incentive-pay system for loan officers
flexibility and responsiveness to client situations in regard to payment schedules
incentives to borrowers for early repayment
Use of Outdated Technologies in Agricultural Sector
Weaknesses
CONCLUSION
conclusion
microfinance is relatively less developed sector and a large scope is available to increase the financial services
GOP established KB as part of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan's Poverty Reduction Strategy with assistance of ADB
KB’s micro credit program has positive impacts on both economic and social indicators of welfare, as well as income-generating activities
conclusion
KB's lending is predominantly geared to agricultural households with limited micro enterprise activities
The existing strategy of portfolio consolidation will continue and growth of clients will stabilize to 18-20% over next five years with an outreach to 800,000 clients
Growth retention is still a challenge
RECOMMENDATIONS
To reduce the poverty it is necessary that disbursement should be focused to the point
credit processes should kept simple
group members can reduce or increase according to population of working areas
overcome the social and cultural gender biases against female participation
increase focus on deposit mobilization to sustain their operations in future
Establish incentives for retail providers to diversify funding sources
Encourage innovation, new specialized actors, new approaches, and diverse financial services
Bring in investors for know-how, governance & equity
