Small
Farmers and Landless Credit Project
The objective of the project was to test the effectiveness of delivery
of credit and financial services to rural poor people to enable them
to improve their living conditions by undertaking such activities
as income-generating off-farm enterprises. The project supported rural
credit, training and community development, and it provided technical
assistance and management support. It helped rural poor people form
groups and train members, with the aim of developing local institutions.
