Summary. This study identifies factors that determine whether rural women in Ethiopia use microfinance services. Researchers surveyed 203 women in Dire Dawa, comparing users and non-users. Monthly savings, family size, and land ownership significantly influenced participation decisions. The findings suggest that improving women's access to land and capital assets are essential strategies for expanding microfinance uptake in rural areas.
