Over the last three years, the team for
Action Research on Sustainable Microfinance Institutions in
Africa has assisted local rural and micro-finance
institutions to improve their delivery of financial services
to the poor in rural and urban areas. Supported by Swiss
Trust Funds, the program covers six countries in Sub-Saharan
Africa - Ghana, Cameroon, Kenya, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and
Zambia. The program's emphasis is on capacity building
at the national level through distilling and disseminating
'best practices' and strengthening local networks
of rural and microfinance providers. The five year program
has the objectives of : (i) documenting current practices of
financial service providers in rural areas, and assess the
effectiveness of innovative techniques; (ii) creating and
strengthening national networks of rural and micro-finance
institutions as a forum for mutual learning and dialogue;
(iii) improving the capabilities of institutions to deliver
financial services to the poor on a sustainable basis; and
(iv) establishing a mechanism for World Bank staff as well
as donors to support effective, innovative institutions that
reach the poor. |
