Description:
REPOA’s Research Report 06.3 examines the extent to which Microfinance Institutions in Tanzania contribute to poverty reduction. The loan process and technical support provided by micro-finance institutions are studied, as well as some characteristics of the loan recipients and their businesses.
The research was conducted on 37 rural and urban micro-finance institutions from four regions and over 350 clients. A case study is also provided, in order to give a deeper insight of the operation of a micro-finance institution in Tanzania.
