Microcredit is considered by many as a panacea for the poverty
canker. It is therefore called for and applied by many as a poverty
alleviation intervention especially targeted at poor women.
However, there are many contrasting claims on the positive impact
of such interventions. In lieu of this, the author sought to assess
the accessibility, utilisation and impact of microcredit on women
and their IGAs mainly from the perspective of beneficiaries in
Tamale, Ghana. In conclusion, there are still major constraints
encountered in accessing credit and this is compounded by the
problems encountered by microcredit providers in their credit
delivery. Microcredit is used for both business and non-business
purposes and depending on how it is applied; it greatly influences
the impact on women and their IGAs The impact of microcredit if
applied properly, has been great resulting in improved changes in
many aspects of beneficiary's lives including their asset position,
relationship within the household and community.However, under its
current level of operation, microcredit has someway to go before it
makes a major dent in the poverty situation of women in the Tamale
Metropolis.
