Savings Groups reach those rarely served by mainstream financial
institutions. At weekly meetings, members deposit savings and take
loans, and in the process build commitment, discipline and mutual
assistance. Maximum transparency, a profitable structure for
saving, access to small loans and an annual lump sum of capital are
the hallmarks of the Savings Group methodology. The outcome:
empowered groups, made up mostly of women, who manage themselves as
tiny financial institutions. Today there are Savings Groups in 60
countries with more than 6 million members, the result of
initiatives carried out by dozens of international and local
NGOs."Savings Groups at the Frontier" explores the issues that will
shape the future of Savings Groups. What are the costs, required
inputs, and anticipated outreach of these groups? How does
replication take place? How sustainable are the groups? Is it
feasible to integrate financial and non-financial services? Are
linkages to the formal system desirable? What is the impact of
groups on members and their households? How can performance be
managed? This book addresses issues, not from the perspective of
the financial institution, but in support of group members and
savers who are managing their own financial services. This book is
essential reading for all those concerned with extending financial
services to the poor: NGO and microfinance managers, bankers,
policy makers, researchers and students.
