The Magic Ingredient? Microfinance & Women's Empowerment
Microfinance programmes targeting women have been a welcome corrective to previous neglect of women's productive role. For some women in some contexts microfinance programmes have indeed set in motion a process of empowerment where all the above elements have been mutually reinforcing. There are many anecdotal case studies in NGO reports of women who have shown considerable initiative, increasing their income and improving their status in the family and community, particularly after a series of loans.

The Roles of Microfinance in Reducing Poverty in Developing Countries
About 90 percent of the people in developing countries lack access to financial services from institutions,, either for credit or savings1, which further fuels the “Vicious Cycle of Poverty” (refer to Fig. 1). If the people of LDCs have a limited capacity to invest in capital, productivity is restricted, incomes are inhibited, domestic savings remain low, and again, any increases in productivity are prevented.

Village Banking
Village Banking is a microcredit methodology developed by FINCA International founder John Hatch. Among US-based non-profit agencies there are at least 31 microfinance institutions (MFIs) that have collectively created over 400 village banking programs in at least 90 countries. And in many of these countries there are host-country MFIs - sometimes dozens - that are village banking practitioners as well.

Women in the informal sector and their access to microfinance
Women as micro and small entrepreneurs have increasingly become a key target group for micro-finance programmes. Providing access to micro-finance is considered a precondition for poverty alleviation, but also for women's empowerment. But despite the proven positive impact of providing microfinance services to female entrepreneurs in the informal sector, microfinance is just one tool among others to address the multiple causes of poverty, unemployment and social exclusion.
