- Abstract
- Micro-finance is a lending solution for low-income and developing regions of the world. However, creating the most effective model for microfinance requires specific tailoring for each region and each target segment. One specific organization that is facing the challenges from the lack of an effective model is the Grameen Bank in Uganda. In comparison to some of its peer institutions, the Grameen Bank has much lower women outreach and rural penetration. Through my research, I provide qualitative and quantitative analyses of various microfinance ventures throughout Africa. These analyses discuss the importance of rural penetration, women inclusion, financial education, and deposit vs loan ratios. In the end, I provide solutions to the Grameen Bank of Uganda for how they can improve their outreach with more tailored solutions in line with their peer institutions.
