Recap of main results
Evidence that microfinance attracts poorer
household but not necessarily the poorest
We fail to show positive strong impact of
microfinance on household income
Inconclusive results on whether
participation in microfinance programs
increases or decreases vulnerability to
poverty
Results
Policy implications
Microfinance is not the tool to assist the poorest
Promise not lost
Integration of microfinance with other development
policies.
Relationship between participation in informal
micro entrepreneurship and economic
empowerment of the poor?
A high concentration of informal entrepreneurships
within a locality may not necessarily be a sign of
economic empowerment of the households
Discussion & policy implication
Conclusion
There is need to redefine what entails
economic empowerment for the poor
and integrate microfinance with other
policies to achieve a synergy in
fighting poverty.
Conclusion
Thank you
