Over the years, state led top-down' models have yielded little
results hence the presumption that bottom-up' people centered
strategies microcredit would help the poor out of poverty. This is
the thinking among feminist theories that empowerment could be a
key in achieving the millennium goals. The book uses credit
investment model to explain how microcredit could help transform
the vicious cycle of poverty into a virtuous cycle. The question
is; has microcredit really transform beneficiaries' lives over the
years? Impact assessment studies over the years challenge normative
debate that has come to frame microcredit programs. According to
SAPs, empowering approach to poverty reduction through microcredit
has more or less come to advance and legitimize neoliberal reforms.
The use microcredit as a way of responding quickly to the
vulnerabilities of surplus labor in growing informal sectors during
and after adjustment process.Though microcredit has its challenges,
when the right mechanisms and structure and implemented vigilantly,
it could serve as a catalyst to get people out of poverty. Yet, it
is prudent to view microcredit as a means to an end and not an end
in itself.
