Micro-credit Sample Clauses

Micro-credit. Lack of money to pursue income generation activities or to underwrite private enterprise development is the most pressing issue. Consequently, two-thirds of the 40 some form of credit lending activity. These range from very small loans of $100 with no interest, to $2,000 loans carrying interest at 2.0% monthly. The term of loans can be very short, between 1 and 3 months, up to a year. Many of the smaller credits are for a of 4 to 6 months, and they average slightly less than $250 for a period of six months at 1.0 percent interest per month. Very few larger credits exist, and they fall under the lending activities of Shore Bank. More than half of all credits are to agricultural recipients, and approximately 92 percent of these credits occur in the IDP and rural “vulnerable population” areas. Most donor agencies have one, or few, “loan officers” who evaluate projects, make the loans, administer them, and perform collection duties. Therefore, one individual may handle several dozen client projects in several different geographic areas. One would expect a high loan default rate, but this does not seem to be the case as the agencies report 90 percent repayment rates. With that said, there is evidence from the respondents that many small credits are written down (thereby becoming grants), and some are repaid with replacement credits. There is anecdotal evidence that where several donors operate at once, recipients “rotate” loans, getting one from one organization to pay another, and so on. The critical question is whether these micro-credits are having any effect on employment or enterprise development. After briefings with virtually all organizations involved - and with more than 50 company interviews and four regional “community” conferences -the team has not discovered a meaningful result that can be cited for enterprise development. The programs obviously play a crucial role in providing subsistence support and immediate cash required for survival, but from an “enterprise development” perspective, it would be very difficult to conclude that micro-credits have led to any sustainable generation activities or new business formations. In the future, enterprises may surface, but they are likely to be micro-enterprisesand adjunct to assistance efforts. I Table 22: in Enterprise ACDWOCA Adventist Development & Relief Academy for Ed.
