This presentation also includes a slide on different websites which can be used as resources by those who intend to find more material on microfinance.
Introduction To Microcredit And Microfinance
A quick look at the history of microcredit/microfinance and my internship with the First MicroBank in Pemba, Mozambique.
Intro to Micro-Financing
This document provides an overview of microfinancing and how it aims to help alleviate poverty. It discusses the two types of poverty, absolute and relative, and how absolute poverty affects over 1.5 billion people living on less than $1.25 per day. Microfinancing attempts to address this through small loans (microcredit) to help the poor establish small businesses or improve their economic circumstances. Key aspects covered include high repayment rates of microloans, the emphasis on female borrowers, and debates around the long-term effectiveness of microfinancing.
History of micro finance
Modern microfinance has its roots in informal credit systems that have long existed worldwide. In the 1970s, Muhammad Yunus pioneered lending to poor women in Bangladesh using group peer monitoring rather than physical collateral. He went on to found Grameen Bank in 1983. Since then, microfinance has expanded, with the World Bank now estimating 160 million people served globally. Microfinance has evolved from early government and donor subsidized rural credit programs to focus more on commercial small loans for microenterprises as an effective poverty reduction strategy. Understanding of effective microfinance models continues to improve as the field expands to systematically serve both formal and informal sectors.
Microfinancing
Plan Canada supports microfinancing to help alleviate poverty. Microfinancing provides small loans to those without access to capital, allowing people to start small businesses and become financially independent. Microfinancing has benefits like improved access to credit, higher loan repayment rates, better education and health outcomes, sustainability, and job creation. Plan Canada works with partners like Arariwa in Peru to facilitate village savings programs and bring microfinancing services to rural communities. Kiva and FINCA are also microfinancing organizations that provide loans and financial services to low-income entrepreneurs around the world.
Microcredit Presentationshow
Microcredit programs in Bangladesh help reduce poverty by providing small loans to poor individuals for self-employment projects. Two prominent microcredit organizations discussed are Grameen Bank and BRAC, which lend primarily to women in rural Bangladesh. Grameen Bank pioneered the group lending model and its borrowers own most of the bank. Both organizations have had success in helping people rise out of poverty and improve their standards of living.
Microfinance
Microfinancing provides small loans and other basic financial services to low-income individuals who otherwise lack access to traditional banking services. It began in the 1970s with programs in Bangladesh and Brazil that made very small loans to rural poor groups, often women, to establish microenterprises and lift themselves out of poverty. Professor Muhammad Yunus pioneered microfinancing by founding Grameen Bank in Bangladesh in 1976, which today has over 6 million borrowers, most of whom are women. Microfinancing has since expanded globally and plays a key role in providing financial access to the poor in developing countries like India.

- The document discusses the role of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in developing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Ethiopia, using the Amhara Credit and Savings Institution (ACSI) as a case study.
- It aims to investigate whether ACSI helps its members develop their businesses and if members have reasonable access to microfinancing.
- The literature review covers concepts like microfinance, SME growth and development, types of microenterprises, how MFIs supply services, and factors that influence business capital structures.
micro credit
Microcredit provides small loans to low-income individuals to help them become self-employed entrepreneurs. The concept originated in the 18th century and was pioneered by organizations like the Grameen Bank founded by Muhammad Yunus in 1983. Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for establishing microcredit as an effective anti-poverty strategy. In Pakistan, microcredit is offered through various microfinance institutions including NGOs, rural support programs, and commercial banks to support entrepreneurship among the 24% of Pakistanis living below the poverty line, which is double the urban rate.
Role of micro credit in poverty alleviation
The document is a thesis submitted for a Master's degree that examines the role of microcredit in poverty alleviation. It discusses conducting a study in four urban slum areas in Pakistan to understand how microcredit has impacted people's living standards. A theoretical framework is developed using poverty reduction as the dependent variable, microcredit as the independent variable, and political environment as the moderating variable. Hypotheses are formulated and statistical techniques like percentages, frequencies, means, and standard deviations are used to analyze collected data. The study aims to determine if microcredit has been effective in providing employment and meeting short-term needs, and if it has helped improve housing and increase income and savings for participants.
Presentation on-microcredit
Microcredit is a system that provides small loans to poor individuals without collateral to start self-employment projects. Muhammad Yunus pioneered microcredit by providing small loans to 42 poor women in Bangladesh in 1976. This led to the founding of Grameen Bank in 1983, which has since loaned over $6 billion to over 7 million people, mostly women. Microcredit works by providing loans in small group through community support and accountability. It has significantly reduced poverty by generating income and empowering the poor, especially women. However, some critiques argue it can increase debt cycles and over-dependence on loans.

Impact of Microfinance on Poverty Alleviation
Microfinance aims to provide financial services to low-income households to help alleviate poverty. It includes microcredit, microsavings, microinsurance, and money transfers. Studies show microfinance has helped reduce poverty in Nepal by increasing incomes, building assets, stabilizing consumption, and protecting against risks. It has led to improvements like higher annual incomes, more durable house materials, increased food sufficiency, and children's school enrollment among microfinance participants in Nepal. However, the impact of microfinance on poverty reduction remains unclear as evidence is mixed and it has shown to be more effective for some groups over others.
Microfinance :a step towards women empowerment
The document discusses microfinance as a strategy for poverty alleviation and women's empowerment. Microfinance involves providing small loans, savings opportunities, and insurance to poor and low-income individuals without collateral. It focuses on empowering women through self-help groups that provide access to credit and financial services. Microfinance helps rural women start small businesses and builds their confidence by providing an alternative to moneylenders. While it allows rural women to save and participate in the economy, there are also threats like women becoming unpaid debt collectors; however, these can be overcome through self-governance and portfolio diversification.
Challenges in microfinance
The document discusses the evolution of microfinance from microcredit to broader financial inclusion services like savings and insurance products. It also discusses key challenges in microfinance, such as evolving reporting standards, increased demand for external assurance, and difficulties with valuation of investments given limited market data in developing markets. The document positions EY as an expert provider of services to microfinance institutions and investment vehicles, including audit, valuation, transaction advisory, and other services that can help clients address these challenges through EY's global expertise and experience in the microfinance industry.
Micro Finance Fair Trade and Development
Microfinance aims to provide financial services to the poor and extreme poor, including microloans, savings, insurance, and remittances. It aims to reduce poverty through financial inclusion and empowerment. Professor Muhammad Yunus founded Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, which pioneered microcredit and saw rapid early growth. However, microfinance also faces criticisms like over-indebtedness, limited poverty reduction, and reliance on subsidies. Fair trade aims to promote equitable trading conditions for marginalized producers and workers through minimum prices, social premiums, and standards. However, it remains a small niche and critics argue it is not a long-term development solution on its own.
Empowering women through microfinance
This document discusses a study on empowering women through microfinance in Lebanon. The study found that microfinance positively influenced women's decision-making power and socio-economic status by making them financially independent and allowing them to increase household income. The study revealed that microfinance is an effective tool for women's empowerment in Lebanon by enhancing their economic security and role in household and family decision making. The conclusion suggests further studies on the impact of culture on women's empowerment through microfinance in Lebanon's diverse population would be valuable.

This dissertation examines the effectiveness of microfinance programs in alleviating poverty in Bangladesh. The study analyzes data collected from 600 active microfinance members, 150 former members, and 100 non-members across four districts in Bangladesh. It evaluates the impact of microcredit on poverty reduction, assesses interest rates and borrower graduation, and examines women's empowerment and participation in Islamic microfinance programs. The conceptual framework proposes that microfinance interventions can alleviate poverty through financial and social intermediation, but programs may face challenges such as loan misuse or insufficient loans that hinder poverty reduction.MFI Presentation
This document summarizes the results of a study on the role of microcredit in reducing women's poverty in Ethiopia through three microfinance institutions. The study found that:
1) The microfinance institutions did not adequately target poor women, as average loan balances were above 20% of per capita income.
2) Loan sizes were small and repayment schedules were too frequent, limiting their impact.
3) Women predominantly used loans for consumption and low-return businesses like food preparation, rather than higher-return investments.
4) While some positive impacts like increased consumption were found, microcredit did not significantly increase women's income, employment, or savings overall. The document recommends that microfinance institutions in Ethiop
History of microfinance
Microfinance began in the 1970s when Muhammad Yunus lent money to poor villagers in Bangladesh. It has since spread globally and helped millions of poor people access small loans and other financial services. While microfinance has been successful in some areas, it also faces challenges in accurately assessing risk, enforcing repayment, and reaching the very poor who lack collateral. In China, microfinance is less developed than other Asian nations despite significant pockets of rural poverty. The absence of civil society organizations and a supportive regulatory environment have hindered the growth of microfinance there.

Microcredit Organizations in Bangladesh
Microcredit organizations in Bangladesh include Grameen Bank, around 1500 non-governmental organizations (NGOs), commercial and specialized banks, and government programs. These organizations provide small, uncollateralized loans to impoverished individuals and groups to support entrepreneurship, alleviate poverty, and empower communities. Microcredit is sustained through financial regulations tailored to objectives, increasing customer base to boost savings, large coverage, and addressing development needs of the poor. The Microcredit Regulatory Authority regulates and supervises microfinance operations in Bangladesh.
Microfinance and women empowerment
Microfinance in India has evolved over three phases from 1960 to today:
1) Social banking phase from 1960-1980 focused on expanding rural branch networks.
2) Financial systems approach from 1990-2000 saw the emergence of NGO-MFIs and self-help groups.
3) Current phase of financial inclusion since 2000 features MFIs partnering with diverse entities and increased policy regulation.
The microfinance industry in India is dominated by self-help groups initiated by NABARD and MFIs that emerged in the late 1990s to provide financial services to low-income individuals through mechanisms like group lending.
women empowerment through micro finance
The document discusses microfinance and its role in empowering women. Microfinance provides financial services to low-income clients through mechanisms like self-help groups. It aims to increase women's income, access to markets, and participation in household decisions. Studies show microfinance contributes to women's empowerment through increased self-confidence, participation in community and political activities, and decision making power within the household. However, microfinance alone cannot alleviate poverty and programs must address challenges like reinforcing traditional gender roles and increasing women's time burdens to maximize empowerment benefits.
Banking on Change - Breaking the Barriers to Financial Inclusion
This document discusses barriers to financial inclusion for billions of people globally. It identifies common barriers such as lack of financial literacy, gender and age discrimination, low and unpredictable income, lack of suitable banking products, geographic distance from banks, and restrictive national policies. These barriers are self-perpetuating as they have led banks to focus on more profitable client segments, leaving poor communities isolated from formal banking. The Banking on Change partnership aims to address this challenge by linking savings groups to formal bank accounts, and has already reached over 500,000 savings group members in just three years.

ECLOF Lanka shares lessons learned from providing loans to over 7,000 people recovering from the 2004 tsunami in Sri Lanka. Some key points:
1. Repayment rates for disaster loans were much lower than usual (under 50% vs typical 95%) due to trauma, handouts creating entitlement mindsets, and economic difficulties.
2. It's important to offer both grants and loans after disasters, provide business training, and have a long-term lending relationship to build confidence and encourage full repayment.
3. ECLOF Lanka worked with groups and cut interest rates to help rebuild livelihoods. Most borrowers have been able to restart businesses in farming, trading and handicrafts.
Challenges and oppor and role in poverty alleviation of micro finance
The document discusses various microfinance models and their opportunities and challenges. It describes self-help group (SHG) models which involve small groups of 10-20 members that build collective savings and provide loans. It also outlines the Grameen Bank model of weekly meetings, group savings funds, and members guaranteeing one another's loans. Joint liability groups and cooperative societies are also microfinance models discussed. The document analyzes opportunities to empower women and train borrowers, as well as challenges around outreach, interest rates, and retaining qualified staff.

History of microfinance
Muhammad Yunus pioneered microfinance in the 1970s by making small loans to impoverished villagers in Bangladesh. Microfinance has since spread globally and helped many people escape poverty by providing financial services to the poor. While microfinance has been successful in some areas, evidence also shows its limitations. It works best to support existing small businesses rather than as a cure for poverty on its own. Some borrowers take on too much debt, and the poorest may be better served first through savings programs rather than loans. Effective microfinance requires balancing social and financial sustainability.
Micro Finance with statistics
Microfinance refers to small-scale financial services like credit and deposits provided to low-income individuals who lack access to traditional banking services. It aims to help the poor become self-sufficient through saving, borrowing, and insurance. Traditional banks are reluctant to serve the poor due to high costs of small loans and lack of collateral. As a result, the poor rely on expensive money lenders. Microfinance helps address this need by providing affordable credit and financial services to the poor. It helps increase incomes, smooth cash flows, manage risks, support micro-enterprises, and empower women. Common microfinance models include self-help groups, community banking, and non-profit organizations. Features include group lending, minimal collateral, and gradually

Microfinance involves providing small loans, savings, insurance, and other financial services to low-income clients who traditionally lack access to banking. It aims to help the poor lift themselves out of poverty through self-employment opportunities and entrepreneurship. Key features include providing small, short-term loans without collateral through group lending models.

Microfinance aims to provide financial services like loans, savings, and insurance to low-income individuals who lack access to traditional banking.

The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) spearheaded India's microfinance program through partnerships with non-profits, banks, and cooperatives. Studies show microfinance has empowered women, improved health and education outcomes, and reduced dependency on informal lenders in rural India. However, some argue microfinance needs reforms to foster greater economic growth through support for real businesses and improved infrastructure.
MICROFINANCE CHANNELS IN INDIA
Microfinance refers to small-scale financial services like credit and deposits provided to low-income individuals who lack access to traditional banking services. It aims to help the poor become self-sufficient through saving, borrowing, and insurance.

It aims to help the poor become self-sufficient through saving, borrowing, and insurance.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
