It provides a policy framework for governments to increase micro, small and medium enterprises' access to financial services?one which is based on empirical evidence from around the world.

Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, grade: 1,3, European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) (Europa-Universität Viadrina / Reims Management School), language: English, abstract: The rural sector in development countries is characterized by high covariant risk, high client dispersion and lack of suitable collateral. These problems lead to high information asymmetry within the agricultural lending process. Because information is incomplete agricultural lending is costly. Consequently many micro finance institutions (MFIs) have concentrated their branches and activities in urban areas. Therefore scepticism is growing about their role in mobilising rural savings and offering rural lending services. Financial cooperatives demanding compulsory savings and enforcing group lending schemes are able to reduce information asymmetry and hence transaction costs of agricultural lending. Since the financial cooperative follows a minimalist approach, it does not offer non-financial services such as storage facilities, training in farming techniques or the treatment of agricultural produce. In order to enhance clients' ability to utilize credit, and thereby to improve their repayment rates, an MFI should follow the integrated approach. The MFI with an integrated approach offers credit combined with non-financial services. The grain bank is seen as a financial institution which links products and services of the financial cooperative with those of the integrated approach. The grain bank replaces physical cash with grains and farm inputs. Six main products are offered by the grain bank: savings in grain, input credit, inventory credit, household food security loan, storage services and training services. Further the grain bank provides access to input and output markets otherwise not available for the farmer. The Ghanaian "Centre for Agriculture and Rural Development" (CARD) is such a grain bank. The results show that CARD has a better financ

Download or read book World Development Report 2008 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007-10-15 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's demand for food is expected to double within the next 50 years, while the natural resources that sustain agriculture will become increasingly scarce, degraded, and vulnerable to the effects of climate change. In many poor countries, agriculture accounts for at least 40 percent of GDP and 80 percent of employment. At the same time, about 70 percent of the world's poor live in rural areas and most depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. 'World Development Report 2008' seeks to assess where, when, and how agriculture can be an effective instrument for economic development, especially development that favors the poor. It examines several broad questions: How has agriculture changed in developing countries in the past 20 years? What are the important new challenges and opportunities for agriculture? Which new sources of agricultural growth can be captured cost effectively in particular in poor countries with large agricultural sectors as in Africa? How can agricultural growth be made more effective for poverty reduction? How can governments facilitate the transition of large populations out of agriculture, without simply transferring the burden of rural poverty to urban areas? How can the natural resource endowment for agriculture be protected? How can agriculture's negative environmental effects be contained? This year's report marks the 30th year the World Bank has been publishing the 'World Development Report'.
