Indigenous savings associations in Eastern Africa and the mobilization of domestic savings

Abstract

This study was done mostly between January and March 1968, "but material was added up to August of the same year. It necessitated personal travel within all the four countries concerned, and consultation with persons from government and university level to the officers of associations. A list is appended of those who contributed to the actual material or to discussion concerning it, to whom, as well as to those who smoothed the administrative path, I tender my grateful thanks. A list is also given of the main written material consulted, most of it provided "by the university colleges and governments of the four countries.
