dc.description.abstract | Rural women’s access to finance in Mauritania is an area where detailed, updated and reliable statistics are still lacking, a situation which does not facilitate the formulation and implementation of the much needed recovery strategies to address the issue. Various structural and institutional obstacles do hamper women's access to funding, despite ongoing efforts for the implementation of the National Microfinance Strategy (2012-2016). This is one of the major findings of a case study just published by ECA/ Sub Regional Office for North Africa, entitled “Improving access to funding for rural women’s empowerment in Mauritania: Reflections on microfinance, good practices and lessons learned”. This work complements a regional study covering Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia already undertaken by ECA in 2013 and published in 2014, and offers also a reflection on the reality and challenges of microfinance in the fight against poverty. | en |
