Synopsis
Excerpt from The Value of Microenterprise Development: Hearing Before the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, June 27, 1995 The committee met, pursuant to call, at 10:20 a.m. in room 2172, Raybum House Office Building, Hon. Benjamin A. Oilman (chairman of the committee) presiding. Chairman Gilman. The hearing will come to order. Today's hearing will be an overview of the value of microenterprise development. And in this era of budget cutting, we must begin to identify and focus on those foreign assistance programs that are real winners. Hr 1561, the American Overseas Interest Act, calls for deep reductions in the development assistance account. I do not think that any of us in the community liked doing it, but difficult choices needed to be made. Choices need to be made now so that our Nation can continue to support new innovative and effective programs. We can no longer afford programs that do not measure up. One program that does measure up though is that child survival program. I support this program and hope to improve upon it in the years ahead. It is our intention in our committee to take up legislation later this summer to address some of the problems that the Appropriations Committee noted in the current Foreign Assistance Act with regard to the Child Survival program. And as you know the Foreign Operations Appropriations bill is presently on the floor this very week. I hope to make our child survival effort a bipartisan one in cooperation with our ranking minority member, Mr. Hamilton, and with the administration. Another program that should and must be maintained is our microenterprise initiative. I began work on this initiative back in 1986. Joined by a number of our colleagues on both sides of the aisle, we began to make progress in our efforts to articulate a new vision for ending, not just alleviating, poverty.

The Value of Microenterprise Development (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delivers an in-depth exploration of the value of microenterprise development as a strategy for poverty reduction. Microenterprise, the author argues, is not just a handout, but rather a hand up that empowers individuals to work their way out of poverty. The book presents evidence from successful microenterprise initiatives, such as the Grameen Bank, Accion International, and FINCA International, to illustrate the transformative impact of access to credit on the lives of the poor. The author discusses the challenges faced by microenterprise programs, including issues related to financial sustainability and fraud prevention. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of microenterprise development as a key component of global poverty reduction efforts, highlighting its potential to create self-sufficient microenterprise banks that can ultimately end poverty for all.
