Impact of Microfinance on Rural Household Poverty in Ethiopia
Summary. Microfinance institutions in Ethiopia target rural poor to reduce poverty and improve livelihoods through employment creation, income growth, and empowerment. The paper reviews whether microfinance services actually improve living standards, measuring impact through household income, education access, healthcare, nutrition, savings, and employment. Ethiopian MFIs face challenges including loan repayment failures, limited foreign capital access, and weak client follow-up that threaten institutional sustainability.
