Measuring the Impact of Microcredit Programs in Albania by Forcim Kola Pdf

This book highlights a range of perspectives concerning the economic and social impact of microfinance products (especially microcredit) on their clients’ lives, scientifically analysing four distinct impact levels: namely, the individual level, the household level, the enterprise level, and the community level. Microcredit services enable low income people to move their family away from poverty and towards higher living standards, by increasing their business activity, improving their employment opportunities, and contributing to sustainable economic growth and development. Investigating the Albanian market, by assessing the impact of Albanian microfinance programs at each of the four above-mentioned impact levels, this book explores whether being a client of MFIs microfinance programmes brings positive changes to their lives and their community. The book uses various data collection techniques, such as surveys, interviews, quantitative measurements of financial data, and data processing methodologies including paired t-tests and a comparison-based data analysis methodology using a control group in order to support or reject the above hypothesis.
