Comments on: Does Microfinance Impact Poverty? http://www.defeatpoverty.com/2006/03/does-microfinance-impact-poverty.html A conversation on global economic issues, ideas & data to help us all become better contributors to defeating the scourge of extreme global poverty Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:26:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dr Gideon c. mwanza http://www.defeatpoverty.com/2006/03/does-microfinance-impact-poverty.html/comment-page-1#comment-533 Dr Gideon c. mwanza Mon, 19 Apr 2010 14:23:37 +0000 http://www.defeatpoverty.com/2006/03/does-microfinance-impact-poverty.html#comment-533 I would say that poverty is a two way thing both men and women are involved in it because they may be found in a critical situation whereby they borrow some money to sustain them. it could be both in the developed and developing countries. There also women who are not married/divorcee who can access such facilities hence this is a critical path to follow. I say the causes of borrowing from these institutions it's because of the conditions in which one can be found men and women especially bad employment laws, unemployment,and low population.etc. gideon I would say that poverty is a two way thing both men and women are involved in it because they may be found in a critical situation whereby they borrow some money to sustain them. it could be both in the developed and developing countries.

I am curious about one of highlights that was presented in the piece. It is the part that states that loans given to women had a significantly greater impact on poverty. Although their is no doubt that men are probably one of the greatest culprits in developing countries' present situations, I don't believe enough credit is given to the possibility of men stepping up and taking the situation in their hands. I would hope that men throughout the world could get as much opportunity as women to advance their present situations. Just a thought. <br/>Arnold I enjoyed this particular articule.

I’ve just discovered your blog and I plan to revisit and read through your archived posts, as the alleviation of poverty is also an interest of mine.

I’m just finishing reading ‘The End of Poverty (How we can make it happen in our lifetime) by Jeffrey Sachs with a foreword by Bono. Earlier this year I read ‘The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid’ by C.K. Prahalad. Both represent cutting edge thinking on macro/policy level combined with commercial approaches.

If you have not already discussed these important works in your blog I commend them to your attention. If you wish, I would be happy to write a brief review of either or both for you.

I am closely involved in helping a small, rural children’s charity in India, and for my day job I’m a marketing and communications manager for an Irish/international bank based in Dublin.

Keep up the good work!!

Gerry
