Project Information
| Project Name: | Micro Credit in Tahoua |
| Project Description: | |
| This project is a component of the national program on rural financial services development that aims at replicating the MMD methodology to other groups within the country. The project shares lessons learned with local government services to facilitate the replication. CARE works with graduated MMD groups and establishes links between them to form the base for a formal savings and loan network in Konni district. The project has established a credit line with local lending institutions, and uses the savings of the MMD groups to leverage larger and longer-term loans. This allows women to invest in a variety of income-generating activities that the smaller MMD group's loans cannot underwrite. | |
