| Description |
Rural women have been one of the most consistently neglected groups in development planning and programming, and, paradoxically, one of the groups with the greatest unrealized potential. Direct access to credit accompanied by savings, can become a catalyst for change that brings benefits to rural women, as well as to their families and communities. In the first chapter of Women and credit the reasons for direct lending to rural women in developing countries are highlighted and women's creditworthiness is reviewed. Subsequent chapters review informal borrowing and saving by rural women, their limited use of formal financial markets; their demand for institutional credit and savings; alternative institutional strategies and women's groups and their role. The concluding chapter summarizes what has been learned about the planning of appropriate financial services for women and the related policy implications.
