| Summary: | Findings Info briefs reports on good
practice in ongoing operational, economic and sector work
carried out by the World Bank and its member governments in
the Africa Region. This issue reports on the Tanzania Rural

objectives were (i) the development of a common policy
framework, based on internationally recognized best
practices, for rural and microfinance initiatives in the
country which would establish an enabling environment for
rural and microfinance and increase the quality and returns
of subsequent investments by the government agencies and
other donors; (ii) increasing the level of knowledge and
skills within the industry; and (iii) instituting a program
of systematic tracking and analyzing of all related
initiatives against a set of common criteria. This info
brief gives information on the project impacts as well as
lessons learned. |
