This study analyzed the factors affecting loan repayment performances in Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) with
a case study of (Promotion of Rural Initiatives and Development Enterprises) PRIDE Arusha, Tanzania. The
study used both quantitative and qualitative techniques to investigate factors affecting loan repayment
performances. The findings show that clients’ characteristics (age, household size, gender and level of
education), nature of business (business type, business stability and income level) and loan characteristics
(repayment period, repayment mode, and repayment amount) were among the factors that influenced borrowers
in repaying their loans. Lack of business knowledge was another factor mentioned by clients which leads to low
productivity hence failure to have enough fund to repay their loans.
The study further revealed that there was a significant relationship between loan repayment performances with
clients’ businesses challenges, loan diversification to other non-income activities, and other outside factors such
market imperfections, higher interest charges, drought, among others.

Microfinance refers to providing small loans, savings opportunities, and other basic financial services to low-income individuals. The modern microfinance movement began in the 1970s by providing small loans to groups of poor women in Bangladesh, Brazil, and other countries. In India, an estimated 350 million people live below the poverty line, but only about 5% have access to microfinance due to high costs, lack of legal frameworks for microfinance institutions, and other barriers. Various models of microfinance have emerged and shown success in India, including self-help group bank linkage programs and wholesale banking models.
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.
A PPT ON MICRO FINANCE BY :- GAURAV BHUTGaurav Bhut
Microfinance in India provides financial services to the poor who lack access to traditional banking. It began as social initiatives but is now a profitable sector. Key challenges include high transaction costs due to information asymmetry about clients and their loan usage. Most clients are rural with low literacy and lack collateral. Staff training and motivation are also issues. Government programs and microfinance institutions have expanded access but large gaps remain, with 500 million people still unserved. Future growth requires addressing demand, scaling up, using technology, and offering more products like insurance to increase impact.
