Project Details
Description
This project seeks to answer the following Research Questions:
• How are MFIs positioned within the wider stakeholder network of climate adaptation and climate-resilient agricultural development in Rwanda?
• How can MFI policies and strategies be optimised to enhance the role of MFIs in enhancing climate resilience?
• What are the climate vulnerabilities experienced by individuals and communities in rural Rwanda, how might these change in the future and how can these vulnerabilities be addressed or mitigated?
• How can microfinance products and training be tailored to better respond to farmers and other (potential) clients’ needs whilst safeguarding local environmental quality?
• In particular, what services can be offered to benefit those who are at risk of being excluded from Agricultural Cooperative, VSLAs and SACCOs, or face other societal barriers (to be defined) for accessing finance?
