Abstract:

La microfinance est un outil destiné aux pauvres et se définit comme la fourniture de services financiers à une partie de la population exclus du système formel des banques par défaut de garanti pouvant entrainer des risques d'impayés. A cet effet, pour continuer de manière durable leurs activités tout en restant pérennes, les IMF doivent s'assurer une performance économique ou financière tout en respectant leurs objectifs sociaux, c'est-à-dire toucher un maximum de pauvres. Dès lors se posent les questions de la performance économique, financière et sociale des organisations de microcrédit. L

Abstract:

An enduring problem facing microfinance institutions is how to attain financial sustainability. Several studies have been conducted to determine the factors affecting financial sustainability of microfinance institutions using large and well developed MFIs in various countries. However, no such study has been conducted in rural Tanzania where majority of MFIs are small, most of which are member-based (cooperatives). Consequently, the factors affecting their financial sustainability are not known. This study, therefore, was set to bridge this knowledge gap. This study followed a quantitative re

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The efficiency and availability of financial services for the poor is a global problem, and has only recently started to enjoy attention in South Africa. This dissertation aims to study the problems experienced by the South African microfinance industry, which includes a vast range of financial products. The survey conducted of the South African industry indicates that its makeup is significantly different from the industries in Latin America and Asia. The problems in the industry are prioritised and show the high cost st

Abstract:

In Ethiopia, the economic dilemmas facing the country have had various effects on the society at large. Given this situation, the high rates of urbanization and uneployment has resulted in that more and more people end up in small-scale activities within the informal economy. Although the informal sector has become increasingly noticeable in Addis Ababa, it is commonly neglected and separated from the formal economy. In light of the contemporary Ethiopian society, this study has nonetheless argued that the wide range of economic activities found within the informal sector is indispensable and

Abstract:

Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) play important roles in socio-economic development and poverty alleviation particularly in developing countries. It has however been argued that the focus of MFIs is changing from the traditional purely social to commercial (mission drift) and has been criticised for neglecting the welfare of citizens and grassroots accountability in favour of commercialisation and accountability to donors/shareholders. This mission drift has resulted in changes in the structure and practices of MFIs. The study has been designed to examine how the accounting and accountability

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

Abstract:

The government of South Africa has seen many financial reforms in the finance industry since the attainment of freedom in 1994. Many microfinance institutions (MFIs) have emerged in the name of poverty reduction, however the impact of MFIs on poverty reduction in rural areas has not been significantly high. Poverty has been reduced but still the inequality gap has even widened (HSRC, 2004). The study is concerned with analysing the impact of MFIs in poverty reduction among the rural poor. Empirical evidence from many developing nations around the world has shown that microfinance is a tool tha

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:

This dissertation examines the potential trade-off between financial performance and social impact of social business ventures, particularly focusing on the “flagships” of social businesses to fight poverty: Microfinance Institutions (MFIs). With the commercialization of the sector, the innovative idea of microfinance has increasingly attracted criticism in literature. Hence, this thesis investigates the previous research in that area and analyses one MFI in particular: KazMicroFinance (KMF) in Kazakhstan. The qualitative analysis is motivated by the following key research question: Do the fin

Abstract:

Companies go public in order to obtain more attractive financing prices from stock markets in exchange for the promise of delivering profits to the investors who buy their stock. Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) aim at alleviating poverty in the society by providing the poor with opportunities for the creation and development of income generating activities. The uprise in the number of connections between capitalist interests and social ones originated several discussions and controversies among the microfinance community.
