Abstract:
Cette étude démontre l’évolution d’un outil spécifique devenu secteur : la micro finance. Véritable outil d’inclusion financière et de développement durable à destination des populations pauvres dans les pays en développement, sa croissance ainsi que sa maturation n’ont eu de cesse de révéler toute son importance à travers l’histoire. Ses institutions de micro finance, encadrées juridiquement dans la majorité des cas, par des statuts à parts, quasi- privé, constituent la représentation sur le terrain de ce secteur enclin à la transformation.

Abstract:
In Kenya, like in many developing countries, Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) have become the main focus for achieving the much-needed social and economic development and alleviating poverty. However, their development has been hampered by lack of access to appropriate financial and related services. Micro financing has been seen as a viable alternative to providing financial services to entrepreneurs in the MSE sector. The focus of this study was to explore the role of MFIs in the development of MSEs and to see if there are ways in which this role can be enhanced to better support the growt

The results suggest that there are major differences between what most agency employees imagine being problems for women in self-employment (e.g. lack of confidence, lack of training), and what women actually ex- perience (e.g. competitive markets pressur

This paper attempts to show how fuzzy set theory can be used to weaken some of the stringent, rationality assumptions used in classical micro-economics. The objective of the paper is to see whether by introducing fuzziness we arrive to new results or just only generalizations of classical micro-economic results. We discover that the axiom of completeness is not needed anymore. Using fuzziness will also allow us to better explain the existing gap between delimiting possible choices and making the actual choice. We also introduce the notions of a fuzzy indifference set with a measurable area. Th

Financial institutions are often reluctant to lend to smaller entrepreneurs due to perceived information asymmetry and lack of available collateral. At the nascent and new entrepreneurial levels, it is generally more difficult for loan applicants to provide the information required to secure the necessary funds. Inadequate financial information coupled with uninformative credit histories heighten the information opacity thus diminishing the entrepreneur's prospects of securing loan funding.

Abstract:
Women entrepreneurs play increasingly important roles in job creation and sustainable economic growth in developing economies, including sub-Saharan Africa.

Barriers to venture creation are particularly problematic for women entrepreneurs living in rural Nigeria. Yet, few studies have examined women entrepreneurs’ access to capital in the context of rural Nigeria, including the perceived value of

Abstract:

Particularly worrisome is that the country earned over US$300 billion from one resource – petroleum – during the last three decades of the twentieth century. But rather than record remarkable progress in national socio -economic development, Nigeria retrogressed to become one of the 25 poorest countries at the threshold of twenty-first century whereas it was among the richest 50 in the early-1970s. An important reason could be the disparate distribution of
