Abstract
Programmes that provide credit and savings services have been promoted in recent years by governments, international development organisations as well as local non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and grassroots bodies as a key strategy for alleviating poverty in lowincome countries (and increasingly also within poor communities in high income countries) and helping to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – indeed 2005 was designated as the ‘Year of Microcredit’ by the United Nations. At the same time there has been a proliferation of institutions providing credit and loans services to poor or disadvantaged sectors of the population. This has been accompanied by a burgeoning literature evaluating the impact of such programmes and offering advice to the service providers on how credit and savings schemes should be structured and programmes implemented.
