Targeting of rural financial services to women
Marital and enterprise-related factors will affect women’s control over the enterprise for which they borrow.
These days, many credit and savings activities, including those under IFAD-supported projects, target rural women. A 2000 FAO/IFAD study in Uganda highlights the role of microfinance in women’s empowerment. Two questions asked were: (1) Is it appropriate and efficient to provide credit lines exclusively for women? (2) Are women in Uganda actually able to control the enterprises for which they borrow?
