- Description
- Dissertation Wageningen University & Research. The thesis deals with the effectiveness and the capability of microfinance institutions (MFIs) to enhance women's livelihoods and empowerment and to mitigate the effects of HIV and AIDS in Côte d'Ivoire. The objective of this study is to gain insight into women's needs in terms of support for economic activities and empowerment in rural areas and the way in which MFIs address these needs. The study aims at assessing whether microfinance services provided for women fit their needs in terms of improving their income, productivity, decision-making power, human and social capital.
