Mohummed Shofi Ullah Mazumder · 2015 · Sustainable Development

Farm size, repayment behavior, weekly savings, and household income significantly influenced program success. Microfinance providers effectively targeted poor, rural, and illiterate populations, though benefits diminished as programs matured.
