Book Description
Using evidence from original surveys of two micro-finance programs in Southern Nigeria, this policy evaluation study attempts to fill the gaps in the literature by developing an evaluation framework emphasizing institutional design features and a strong network of relationships which lower costs for beneficiaries and providers; and second, to provide critical input for the policy task of designing effective institutions of poverty reduction programs.
