| dc.description | There is virtual consensus on the need to expand and strengthen microenterprises (MEs) in rural areas. This is in part due to the potential they offer for employment creation, poverty alleviation and a healthier economy in general, and in part due to recognition that the capacity of the agricultural sector to absorb the increasing number of rural people in more densely-populated countries and regions is very limited. One of the few alternatives to rural-urban migration is the promotion of MEs, b ut the development of this sector has been largely hindered by its limited access to formal credit, of concern to policy makers and donors in rural financial market development. This paper presents a review of operational experiences with special focus on what does and what could work in developing rural financial markets. The review is mainly confined to the experiences of microfinance institutions in Asian countries. | |
