Croatia
In Croatia, public initiatives are planned to increase
awareness of how microcredit enables community
development at all levels and strengthens capacity
building, especially in low-income areas.
Kazakhstan
In Kazakhstan, about 25,000 people receive microcredit
as a result of a program adopted in 1998
aimed at reducing poverty, unemployment,
and developing entrepreneurship. The Committee
for Support of Small Business under the Ministry
of Industry and Trade is the coordinating
agency on microcredit and jointly with the
Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for
formulating a Programme for microcredit development.
Several laws on microcredit organizations
have been adopted last year to promote access
of entrepreneurs to financial resources.

Mark Malloch Brown,
Chef de Cabinet, Office of the Secretary General to the United Nations
"By directly empowering poor people, particularly women,
microfinance has become one of the key driving mechanisms towards
meeting the MDG's, specifically the overarching target of halving
extreme poverty and hunger by 2015." |
