[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the concept of micro-financing and micro-credit and the impact it has on the developing nations of the world.

Many of the programs rely on cooperative credit exchange and often rely on those cooperative partnerships to serve as a form of peer monitoring as a substitute for collateral. Micro-credit programs extend small loans to poor people for self-employment projects that generate income, allowing them to care for themselves and their families. In most cases, micro-credit programs offer a combination of services and resources to their clients in addition to credit for self-employment. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
