Abstract:
This research is based on two models of the object model of the Grameen Bank that successfully implemented in rural communities of Bangladesh and APEX BPR models have been suggested by the Central Bank of Indonesia. It is expected that these two models can be reduced poverty in Indonesia. Conclusions can be drawn from this study is that the level of poverty later in Indonesia in handling through lending activities were not able to use only one in the same way. this is because, since this type of poverty in rural and urban areas have differences. With the APEX BPR is felt more appropriate to extend credit in the urban poor Grameen Bank model is more suitable to be applied to extend credit in rural communities

Abstract:
Poverty is economic, social, political and even moral issue all over the world. Microfinance has been designed to eliminate poverty and may help marginal people to materialize their dreams. Microfinance has been formalized primarily in Bangladesh with this concept. Grameen Bank (GB) has been serving large number of people below poverty level here. Initially, microfinance institutions have been supported by the Government or Donor assuming its positive impact on borrowers. However, ambiguous impacts have been reported in several studies that make microfinance questionable. Therefore, this study intent to measure the impact of microfinance on GB borrowers through the process of qualitative changes in borrowers lives. The process has been measured by some case studies for participant and non-participant borrowers using Modified Household Economic Portfolio Model (M - HEPM). Our qualitative analysis shows that microfinance makes positive changes in the process of borrowers lives observed through financial and activity diaries of the borrowers.

Abstract:
Poverty reduction has been declared as the most important millennium development goal not only by the world level organizations and institutions, but also by the government of Pakistan. Micro-credit is considered as a prime tool to fight back poverty. After the success of Grameen Bank of Bangladesh multiple other banks and micro finance institutions (MFI’s) like Banko Soladerio of Latin America, Indonesia’s BRI-UD, BAAC in Thailand, BRAC in Bangladesh and VBSP in Vietnam have been working on almost the similar pattern. In Pakistan different NGOs like AKRSP, Orangi pilot project, Kashf foundation and others have started working for the past few years basically to eradicate poverty and for women empowerment. The government institutions are also seriously making an effort to eradicate poverty through micro financing schemes. Government of Pakistan has selected the RSP (rural support program) model for micro-financing. The success of both government institutions and NGOs is not very outstanding to meet the basic objective of poverty eradication. The aim of this paper is to see the possibility of collaboration between the NGOs and the government to achieve the desired common goal. It is hypothesized that if government and NGOs work together and collaborate each other, the effectiveness of micro financing schemes could be strengthened.

Abstract:
This study aims to understand the cause-and-effect relationship between financial and non-financial measures under a balanced scorecard (BSC) model in the microfinance sector of Bangladesh. Structural equation modeling is employed to test non-financial relationships hypothesized under BSC model and one sample t-tests are conducted to further relate non-financial variables to the financial performance variable for two microfinance providers. While all non-financial variables share positive and significant relationships, findings show that customer perspective and internal business process factors are quite strong and more evident for Grameen Bank than a cooperative bank. As such, microfinance providers which will improve their non-financial perspectives can ultimately benefit from increased financial performance. The article draws attention to microfinance providers so that they can address shortcomings in their current performance measurement systems and identify mechanisms that can help them improve their financial performances. Implications and future directions are discussed too.

Abstract:
The standard of living in many developing countries like Bangladesh especially rural area is not standard level or satisfied. The microcredit programs of Grameen Bank (GB) in Bangladesh have emerged as a strategy on standard of living and reduction poverty. They are also trying to remove poverty and unemployment and energetic poor people who want to engage in economic activities, the institution provides not only loan to them but also advice and monitoring. The aim of the study is to explore the impact of GB microcredit on standard of living of rural women in study area whom have already involved in its loan. As sample only 198 current microcredit fund receiver’s respondents from Sariakandi upazila under Bogra district were selected. Data were collected from six centers under two selected branches using questionnaire. Data were explained normally under descriptive method using simple statistical tools such as chi-square test and One-way ANOVA test and econometric model such as OLS regression. After analyzing data, results of the study show that there has a positive effect on savings, average monthly income, expenditure, average level of education of borrowers’ households, number of income earner and asset. The results of One-way ANOVA test indicate that there exists a significant relationship among some factors of standard of living with amount of loan of GB and Chi-square test is proved that microcredit of GB has also a positive contribution on improving standard of living in study area.

Abstract:
This study focused on urban corporate people and applied multinomial logistic regression (MLR) to identify the impact of anthropometric, biochemical, socio-demographic and dietary habit factors on health status. Health status is categorized into four levels: healthy, caution, affected, and emergent. A cross-sectional study, based on convenience sampling method, was conducted to select 271 employees from 18 institutions under the Grameen Bank Complex, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Biochemical measurements such as blood uric acid are highly significant variables in the MLR model. When holding other factors as constants, with a one-unit increase in blood uric acid, a person is 11.02 times more likely to be “emergent” compared to “caution”. The odds are also higher, at 1.82, for the blood uric acid to be “affected” compared “caution”. The results of this study can help to prevent a large proportion of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by reducing the most significant risk factor: blood uric acid. This study can contribute to the establishment of combined actions to improve disease management.

Abstract:
The focus of this study was to measure the impact of micro-credit programme on women empowerment in Bangladesh. Six leading NGOs/MFIs which operated micro-credit programmes were considered (namely ASA, BRAC, Grameen Bank, SSS, PROSHIKA and TMSS). A total of 406 credit-receivers were randomly selected from twenty-six villages in eight districts of Bangladesh viz., Dhaka, Mymensingh, Sherpur, Netrokona, Kishoregonj, Sylhet, Lalmonirhat, and Narsingdi. The study revealed that 68.5 percent of the respondents could change their empowerment situation. By the estimated change in empowerment it was realised that 15.8 percent of the respondents experienced positive change in their empowerment situation. The main factors affecting the change in women empowerment were membership of different micro-credit organizations, poverty change due to micro-credit and use of loaned money. In single level logistic regression model, the change in poverty situation due to micro-credit had positive association with the perceived change in women empowerment. On the other hand, in multinomial regression analysis the change in poverty situation due to micro-credit had a negative impact on the estimated change in empowerment situation. This contradiction dictates for further investigation into the issue possibly at different component levels of women empowerment. Finally, this research recommended that micro-credit organizations should increase the amount of loan to at least Tk. 15000 encouraging the clients to invest in less risky business with efficient follow up programme.J.

Abstract:
<strong>Indonesian</strong><br />KUM adalah suatu kaji tindak (action research) Skim Kredit untuk golongan miskin di pedesaan Indonesia. Skim ini adalah replikasi pola Grameen Bank, Bangladesh, dengan beberapa modifikasi sesuai dengan kondisi sosial ekonomi masyarakat pedesaan Indonesia. Kaji tindak ini berlokasi di kecamatan Nanggung Bogor. Proyek ini dimulai pada bulan Januari 1989 - 1991 oleh Puslit Sosial Ekonomi Pertanian. Pada dasarnya kredit diberikan secara individu, tapi untuk memperoleh kredit calon peserta/peminjam diharuskan berkumpul dalam satu kelompok yang terdiri dari 5 orang anggota. Selama periode kaji tindak, KUM telah menjangkau 7 dari 10 desa yang ada di kecamatan Nanggung dengan total anggota sebanyak 329 orang. Dari jumlah ini 290 orang (88 persen) adalah anggota wanita dan 29 orang (12 persen) adalah anggota pria. Adapun jumlah pinjaman yang disalurkan sebanyak Rp 22.945.000,-, dengan rata-rata pinjaman per anggota adalah Rp 69.741,- dan kisaran pinjaman antara Rp 50.000, sampai Rp 125.000,- per anggota. Pelajaran yang menarik dari pengalaman kaji tindak ini adalah bahwa kendatipun kelompok sasarannya adalah golongan termiskin di pedesaan, tetapi mereka mampu mengembalikan pinjaman dengan teratur dan berdisplin. Selain itu mereka juga mampu menyisihkan sebagian penghasilannya untuk ditabung. Dengan kata lain golongan miskin di pedesaan, khususnya kaum wanita, adalah layak diberikan kredit.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to comprehensively explore and propose solutions to global economic inequities and disparities, with a particular focus on healthcare. This paper also aims to explore whether drastic reductions of inequality are justified in terms of conventional economic theory, and whether ending inequality can be viewed as ethical through certain lenses. Design/methodology/approach To seek the response to those questions, the paper uses Pareto optimality; Hicks–Kaldor model; Millian utilitarianism; the ethical theories developed by John Rawls in his 1971 work on ethics as well as his 1999 Law of People; and the capability approach developed by Noble Laureate economists Amartya Sen. As demonstrated, those equalizing works cannot support a policy that would advocate an end to global inequities. Those theories also propose no practical solutions for the end of those extreme inequities. Thus, the paper attempts to present other solutions. Findings This paper discusses two theories that are very helpful in supporting those without much wealth. Mohammad Yunus’ Grameen Bank and its provision of small free-interest loans to poor businesses (in particular women) in Bangladesh has been very successful. Another alternative advocating interest-free banking that was proposed by the proponents of binary economics is discussed. Originality/value The author believes the arguments used to support the theses of this paper be unique and novel.

Abstract:
Background Uric acid is associated with noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease, stroke, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, vascular dementia, and hypertension. Therefore, uric acid is considered to be a risk factor for the development of noncommunicable diseases. Most studies on uric acid have been performed in developed countries, and the application of machine-learning approaches in uric acid prediction in developing countries is rare. Different machine-learning algorithms will work differently on different types of data in various diseases; therefore, a different investigation is needed for different types of data to identify the most accurate algorithms. Specifically, no study has yet focused on the urban corporate population in Bangladesh, despite the high risk of developing noncommunicable diseases for this population. Objective The aim of this study was to develop a model for predicting blood uric acid values based on basic health checkup test results, dietary information, and sociodemographic characteristics using machine-learning algorithms. The prediction of health checkup test measurements can be very helpful to reduce health management costs. Methods Various machine-learning approaches were used in this study because clinical input data are not completely independent and exhibit complex interactions. Conventional statistical models have limitations to consider these complex interactions, whereas machine learning can consider all possible interactions among input data. We used boosted decision tree regression, decision forest regression, Bayesian linear regression, and linear regression to predict personalized blood uric acid based on basic health checkup test results, dietary information, and sociodemographic characteristics. We evaluated the performance of these five widely used machine-learning models using data collected from 271 employees in the Grameen Bank complex of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Results The mean uric acid level was 6.63 mg/dL, indicating a borderline result for the majority of the sample (normal range <7.0 mg/dL). Therefore, these individuals should be monitoring their uric acid regularly. The boosted decision tree regression model showed the best performance among the models tested based on the root mean squared error of 0.03, which is also better than that of any previously reported model. Conclusions A uric acid prediction model was developed based on personal characteristics, dietary information, and some basic health checkup measurements. This model will be useful for improving awareness among high-risk individuals and populations, which can help to save medical costs. A future study could include additional features (eg, work stress, daily physical activity, alcohol intake, eating red meat) in improving prediction.

Abstract:
Among the reasons for financial exclusion is the fact that the poor, being largely illiterate and unemployed, are traditionally perceived as ‘bad credit risks’. This is the dominant perception of the poor in the formal credit markets – a perception that also exists in the microcredit sector. In other words, while information asymmetry is a recognized problem in lender-borrower relationships, lenders consider the problem particularly severe when they contemplate doing business with the poor. A contrasting paradigm, such as the one adopted by Grameen Bank of Bangladesh, views the poor as possessing economic potentials that have not been tapped – that is, as ‘good credit risks’. Grameen Bank’s microcredit features appear to have successfully mitigated the problems of information asymmetry and, to a large extent, made it possible for the poor to access microenterprise credit. Using the Grameen Bank model as a benchmark, this study examined the lending features of private sector microlenders in South Africa and those of KhulaStart (credit) scheme. The aim was to identify how the lending features affect microenterprise credit access. Primary data were obtained through interviews, while relevant secondary data were also used in the study. A key finding of the study was that while the Khulastart scheme was, like Grameencredit, targeted at the poor, the method of its delivery appeared diluted or unduly influenced by the conventional (private sector) paradigm that pre-classifies people as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ credit risks. As a result, the scheme was not robust enough to support microenterprise credit access. This has consequences for job-creation and poverty reduction. Based on the findings, the study maintains that a realistic broadening of microenterprise credit access will not occur unless there is a fundamental paradigm shift in microcredit practices, and unless measures designed to mitigate information asymmetries are sensitive to the historical, economic and sociocultural realities of the South African poor.

Abstract:

In course of time the role of the individual being has become increasingly important in the fight against poverty. Through its microcredit programmes, the organization Grameen Bank offers “aid to self-help” to poor women on the countryside in Bangladesh. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how participation in Grameen’s microcredit programmes can affect these women’s social situation and working situation. In order to achieve the purpose the following questions have been formulated: How does microcredit affect women’s self-esteem, influence in the household, and exposure to domestic violence? How does microcredit affect women’s occupational situation, to what extent do they have control over their loans, and how is microcredit regarded in comparison with permanent jobs, as a way to reduce poverty?

The research, which has been carried out as a qualitative text analysis, shows that Grameen plays an important role when it comes to improving women’s living conditions. The access to microcredit helps women increasing their working activity as well as their self-esteem and influence in the household. However, microcredit does not merely create positive consequences. There are cases where microcredit increases the risk of domestic violence. Often the loans are transferred within the household, and then controlled by men. In addition, women’s use of microcredit is still confined to activities traditionally performed by women. These factors are important to consider when evaluating Grameen’s programmes, since they counteract Grameen’s vision of creating development for women.

Abstract:

Microfinance and micro credits are concepts that are used frequently when talking about poverty reducing actions. This paper is a case study of the poverty alleviation impacts of microfinance institutions and it contrasts the effects of Grameen Bank and Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC) operating in Bangladesh. The case study examines the organisations effects in the 21st century since most of the reports have compared the effects in the past not reflecting on future conditions. The questions at issue are if Grameen Bank and BRAC can affect the poverty status of its members in a positive way and if there is a positive effect, which of the approaches are the best to use? To analyse the non monetary dimension, concepts such as health and education has been used as indicators for poverty reduction and the monetary indicator used is income through employment. Simultaneously economic models and concepts have been considered throughout the paper.

The findings of this case study implied that both organisations have positive effects on reducing poverty among its members, but BRAC has the broadest view seeing to all factors investigated and therefore its approach is the best to use. Nevertheless, as previous studies have implied sustainability and cost-effectiveness within the microfinance programme is important for the long-run poverty reduction. Evaluating the economic performance of the two organisations Grameen Bank is more efficient in using its resources than BRAC, but Grameen Bank show a decreasing rate of efficiency while BRAC is improving significantly. With this in consideration BRAC is still showing the best poverty reducing result for its members today, but if the organisation does not find a way to improve its economical performance its actions will not be sustainable in the long run.

Abstract:

Bangladesh har 120 miljoner innevånare och minst 50% av dessa lever i mycket svår

fattigdom. Grameen bank är en av de institutioner som försöker ändra på detta. Genom att

låna ut små summer utan krav på säkerhet ger man även de fattigaste en chans att förbättra

sina liv. 94 % av Grameen banks låntagare är kvinnor – vilket är ovanligt per se - men särskilt

ovanligt i ett så patriarkaliskt samhälle som Bangladesh där det för 10-15 år sedan hade varit

helt otänkbart. Även om det har skett stora förändringar under de senaste åren - framför allt i

städerna - så har kvinnorna i Bangladesh fortfarande en mycket underordnad roll, vilket har

sin grund i islam och de regler som finns för hur en kvinna ska bete sig. Kvinnan ses som en

andra klassens medborgare som betraktas som fruar, mödrar eller döttrar – inte som egna

individer. Det ses också som en statusförlust för familjen att kvinnan ska arbeta utanför

hemmet.

Vi har studerat vilka effekter lån från Grameen bank kan få för den enskilda individens

livssituation genom att intervjua fyra kvinnor i Bangladesh. De livssituationsförändringar vi

valt att studera är lånens effekt på fattigdom, sårbarhet och kvinnornas ställning i familjen och

i samhället. Inom alla tre områdena går det att se betydande skillnader före och efter det att

lånen har beviljats. Vi får också stöd för dessa skillnader genom de vetenskapliga

undersökningar som finns.

Hos alla våra intervjupersoner kan man se tydliga skillnader i deras ekonomiska situation. De

har inte blivit rika, men de är i alla fall mindre fattiga vilket visar att lånen uppfyller sitt syfte.

Det har varit svårare att dra paralleller när det gäller sårbarheten, men vi kan se att vissa av de

aktiviteter som kvinnorna valt att ägna sig åt kommer att minska deras sårbarhet.

Vi tycker att det är glädjande att konstatera hur kvinnornas ställning har förbättrats i och med

att de har beviljats lånen. De åtnjuter nu en helt annan status än tidigare – både inom familjen

och i samhället. De är med och fattar beslut i familjen som de tidigare inte fick säga någonting

om, och de kan delta i samhället på helt andra villkor.

Abstract:
This chapter proposes the concept of the Grameen Bank initiated by Muhammad Yunus as a prototype for promoting rural entrepreneurship within the under-developed rural community governed by the digital portal. There are many factors that were considered important for the shift from microfinance to financial inclusion when proposing the model. One of the key factors is what is happening with data in general and our ability through digitization to have a more comprehensive understanding of the needs of the poor community. The Grameen model is considered as an advanced empathetic financial service that is appropriate for the needy poor women located in rural locations. By analyzing prior literature on Grameen model, in this chapter, an advancement to the existing Grameen model is proposed.

Abstract:
Gender equality and information and communication technology are important in the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in policy, planning, and practice. The 2000 Millennium Declaration of the United Nations (UN) formed an international agreement among member states to work toward the reduction of poverty and its effects by 2015 through eight Millennium Development Goals: 1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger 2. Achieve universal primary education 3. Promote gender equality and the empowerment of women 4. Reduce child and maternal mortality 5. Improve maternal health care 6. Combat HIV and AIDS, malaria, and other major diseases 7. Ensure environmental sustainability 8. Develop global partnership for development Progress toward gender equality and the empowerment of women is one goal that is important to achieving the others. Poverty, hunger, illiteracy, environmental threats, HIV and AIDS, and other health threats disproportionately affect the lives of women and their dependent children. Gender-sensitive ICT applications to education, health care, and local economies have helped communities progress toward the MDGs. ICT applications facilitate rural health-care workers’ access to medical expertise through phones and the Internet. Teachers expand learning resources through the Internet and satellite services, providing a greater knowledge base for learners. Small entrepreneurs with ICT access and training move their local business into world markets. ICT diffusion into world communication systems has been pervasive. Even some of the poorest economies in Africa show the fastest cell-phone growth, though Internet access and landline numbers are still low (International Telecommunications Union [ITU], 2003b). ICT access or a lack of it impacts participation, voice, and decision making in local, regional, and international communities. ICTs impact the systems that move or inhibit MDG progress. UN secretary general Kofi Annan explained the role of the MDGs in global affairs: Millennium Development Goals are too important to fail. For the international political system, they are the fulcrum on which development policy is based. For the billion-plus people living in extreme poverty, they represent the means to a productive life. For everyone on Earth, they are a linchpin to the quest for a more secure and peaceful world. (UN, 2005, p. 28) Annan also stressed the critical need for partnerships to facilitate technology training to enable information exchange and analysis (UN, 2005). ICT facilitates sharing lessons of success and failure, and progress evaluation of work in all the MDG target areas. Targets and indicators measuring progress were selected for all the MDGs. Gender equality and women’s empowerment are critical to the achievement of each other goal. Inadequate access to the basic human needs of clean water, food, education, health services, and environmental sustainability and the support of global partnership impacts great numbers of women. Therefore, the targets and indicators for Goal 3 address females in education, employment, and political participation. Progress toward the Goal 3 target to eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015, will be measured by the following indicators. • Ratio of girls to boys in primary, secondary, and tertiary education • Ratio of literate females to males who are 15- to 24-year-olds • Share of women in wage employment in the nonagricultural sector • Proportion of seats held by women in national parliaments (World Bank, 2003) Education is positively related to improved maternal and infant health, economic empowerment, and political participation (United Nations Development Program [UNDP], 2004; World Bank, 2003). Education systems in developing countries are beginning to offer or seek ways to provide ICT training as a basic skill and knowledge base. Proactive policy for gender equality in ICT access has not always accompanied the unprecedented ICT growth trend. Many civil-society representatives to the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) argue for ICT access to be considered a basic human right (Girard & Ó Soichrú, 2004; UN, 1948). ICT capability is considered a basic skill for education curriculum at tertiary, secondary, and even primary levels in developed regions. In developing regions, ICT access and capability are more limited but are still tightly woven into economic communication systems. ICTs minimize time and geography barriers. Two thirds of the world’s poor and illiterate are women (World Bank, 2003). Infant and maternal health are in chronic crisis for poor women. Where poverty is highest, HIV and AIDS are the largest and fastest growing health threat. Ninety-five percent of people living with HIV and AIDS are in developing countries, partly because of poor dissemination of information and medical treatment. Women are more vulnerable to infection than men. Culturally reinforced sexual practices have led to higher rates of HIV infection for women. Gender equality and the empowerment of women, starting with education, can help fight the spread of HIV, AIDS, and other major diseases. ICT can enhance health education through schools (World Bank). Some ICT developers, practitioners, and distributors have identified ways to incorporate gender inclusiveness into their policies and practice for problem-solving ICT applications toward each MDG target area. Yet ICT research, development, education, training, applications, and businesses remain male-dominated fields, with only the lesser skilled and salaried ICT labor force approaching gender equality. Successful integration of gender equality and ICT development policy has contributed to MDG progress through several projects in the developing regions. Notable examples are the South-African-based SchoolNet Africa and Bangladesh-based Grameen Bank Village Pay Phone. Both projects benefit from international public-private partnerships. These and similar models suggest the value and importance of linking gender equality and empowerment with global partnership for development, particularly in ICT. This article reports on developing efforts to coordinate the achievement of the MDGs with policy, plans, and practice for gender equality beyond the universal educational target, and with the expansion of ICT access and participation for women and men. The article examines the background and trends of MDG 3, to promote gender equality and the empowerment of women, with particular consideration of MDG 8, to develop global partnership for development, in ICT access and participation.

Abstract:
The relevance of micro-lending in battling poverty and encouraging sustainability of the poor is more vividly seen after the emergence of Bangladesh-based Grameen Bank as a successful microfinance institution in 2006. Creating a sustainable microfinance institution largely depends on the two important factors; cost and risk. This paper examines the common risks and costs associated with micro lending, vis-à-vis the trade-off that results into higher costs the more risks are well managed, and higher risks the more costs are highly reduced. As the popular ‘group lending’ model is patronised by the majority MFIs around the world, this paper has gone beyond to suggest the adoption of a new concept in group lending management; the Transmittal Lending model. This new model is theoretically described to optimise the two conflicting variables of risk and costs, so as to enhance an MFI’s profitability and sustainability, simultaneously. The general methodology applied is a review on relevant literature so as to find previously established research opinions that will support the new group lending model. Nevertheless, this new model needs to be quantitatively tested by researchers in the field to deeply understand the dynamics of its applicability in the industry.
