From financial exclusion to financial inclusion through microfinance: the case of rural Zimbabwe
Summary. Rural Zimbabwe's population remains largely unbanked not because they lack capacity, but because commercial banks find it unprofitable to serve areas with inadequate infrastructure. Microfinance institutions fill this gap but face significant operational challenges. The study reveals that rural communities are actually bankable, contradicting banks' claims that poverty prevents financial inclusion.
