Abstract - Factors Impeding the Poverty Reduction Capacity of Micro-credit: Some Field Observations from Malawi and Ethiopia
In most African countries women tend to account for an average 51% of the population, and make up about 65% of the rural labour force. Thus, many rural based micro-finance programmes have attempted to address the women specific need for micro-credit. This paper analyses the effectiveness of micro-credit as a means to reducing poverty, with particular focus on women, and demonstrates, through the critical analysis of some country-specific examples, that the use and supply of micro-credit does not always lead to a sustainable impact on household or female poverty reduction. Analysis of findings are done based on field data, interviews, and observations from Malawi and Ethiopia.

Rural Broadband In America
Rural Americans spend most of the first thirty years of the 20th century in the dark. By the early 1930’s only ten percent of the rural population enjoyed the benefits of electricity compared to over 70% of their urban counterparts. Most of the electricity available to farmers was provided by cooperatives – groups of residents who laid the line, set up and maintained the systems as public utilities had little desire to spend what was necessary to serve so few. With the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7 U.S.C. 901-950b) rural electric development took off. Most of the loans the Act made available were given to these local cooperatives. Today, electric cooperatives own and maintain almost half of all distribution lines in the country.
