Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Microfinance Poverty Assessment Tool method was developed to increase transparency in the outreach performance of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in order to more effectively assess their impact on the lives of poor people. It provides accurate data on the poverty levels of MFI clients relative to people living in the same community, using a more standardised and rigorous set of indicators than those used by conventional microfinance targeting tools, and allow comparative measurement of poverty outreach within and across countries. Although this method was designed for microfinance, it can also be used to measure the poverty levels of clients of other development programmes.

Book excerpt: The Microfinance Poverty Assessment Tool was developed as a much-needed tool to increase transparency on the depth of outreach of microfinance institutions (MFIs). It is intended to help donors and investors integrate a poverty focus into their appraisals and funding of financial institutions through a more precise understanding of the clients served by these institutions.

Book Synopsis Assessing the Poverty Outreach of Microfinance Institutions by : Meike Wollni
Download or read book Assessing the Poverty Outreach of Microfinance Institutions written by Meike Wollni and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About one fifth of the world population lives in extreme poverty. Development programs often aim at reaching the most disadvantaged population groups, but insufficient targeting can jeopardize these efforts, effectively excluding the poorest. It is therefore essential to assess the poverty level of program participants in order to get an estimate about the program's contribution to poverty alleviation. This study evaluates the case of a Mexican microfinance institution. Before proceeding with the analysis, the author provides a framework for the evaluation of outreach and sustainability of microfinance institutions. An indicator-based, multi-dimensional poverty index is used to assess the poverty level of households. At the regional level, a poverty mapping approach is followed to assign municipalities to different poverty groupings. Based on the different assessments, the MFI's outreach performance is compared to similar MFI's operating in other countries. The book is directed towards development practitioners, the donor community, as well as the academic audience interested in socio-economic development.

Download or read book The Triangle of Microfinance written by Manfred Zeller and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s when the microfinance revolution began, much has been accomplished, but the field became more refined in the 1990s as a result of shifts in paradigms, strategies, and development practices. This volume addresses the three policy objectives that now occupy those who wish to use credit as a development tool: financial sustainability of microfinance institutions, outreach to the poor, and welfare impact. Inevitable tradeoffs exist among these objectives, and the book advances an analytical framework that assists students of and experts in microfinance to identify the tradeoffs and synergies at the institutional level and in the policy environment. The book features a wealth of empirical data and innovative analytical studies, and critically discusses the role of public support for microfinance institutions (MFIs) in light of the social costs and benefits generated by such financial systems. The book is organized into five parts. The first discusses the demand for and access to financial services by the poor, emphasizing that demand-oriented, pro-poor financial services are crucial in reaching the poor. The second is concerned with two of the criteria used to evaluate MFIs—outreach and financial sustainability. The third features innovative econometric studies seeking to evaluate the impact of MFIs at the household level. The fourth looks at the role of both public- and private-sector institutions in developing sustainable financial systems. And the fifth summarizes implications for policy and research. Given the lack of sound, empirical literature on microfinance, this volume is sure to advance knowledge and research methodology in the field.

This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great strides are being made in technology, medicine, and other fields, but with these advances, many people are still being left behind in poverty. The poor struggle to feed their families, work long hours for little pay, and face obstacles in educating themselves and their children. They see no end to the nightmareand they feel trapped. World leaders have responded by offering a handout rather than a hand up, which does nothing to fix the problem. In this book, youll learn why: Foreign aid to developing countries weakens democratic institutions and empowers leaders to make bad policy decisions. Small businesses serve an important role in strengthening economies in developing countries. Small business owners opt out of legal environments and choose to operate in informal sectors. Microfinance institutions offer the poor greater flexibility and opportunity than larger financial institutions. When helping the poor, the goal does not need to be unanimous economic equality, but we must provide opportunities to escape the clutches of poverty. Find out how it can be done, step by step, with Microfinance.
Book Synopsis Financial Analysis of Assessment of Impact of Micro-Financing Institutions Towards Poverty Reduction in Nigeria by : Eseoghene Joseph Idolor
Download or read book Financial Analysis of Assessment of Impact of Micro-Financing Institutions Towards Poverty Reduction in Nigeria written by Eseoghene Joseph Idolor and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study takes a critical look at the impact of micro finance banks on poverty reduction in Nigeria. The objective being to determine if the credits or other ancillary services provided by them have had any significant effect upon the livelihoods, homes and standard of living of the teaming economically active poor in Nigeria. To specifically understand the relationship between micro finance activity and poverty assessment indicators, we adopt some selected explanatory variables like Microfinance banks aggregate asset, Deposit liabilities and loan advances; while the dependent variable was decomposed into life expectancy index, education index, gross domestic product per capital and human development index. In other to evaluate the hypotheses of the study we employed the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression technique. This is especially important for a better understanding of the impact of microfinance banks activities on the selected poverty assessment index in Nigeria. Our findings reveal that loans and advances of microfinance banks had a significant impact on education and life expectancy index. Also, microfinance banks asset base had a negative impact on human development index and its components; while deposit liabilities of microfinance banks also had a negative impact on human development index and its components. Some of the recommendations to increase impact of microfinance banks on poverty reduction in Nigeria are more efforts at increasing loans and advances given to the economically active low income groups to enable them engage in economically viable entrepreneurial activities which helps reduce their level of poverty. Others include the provision of adequate infrastructures such as functional roads and electricity in the rural areas and city slums.
