Report from the Field: Incorporating Microfinance into Kenya's Economic Recovery Strategy
With a population of 30 million people and a per capita income of US$260, Kenya is categorized the 20th poorest country in the world.[1] Estimates indicate that about 47% of the rural population and 29% of the urban population live under conditions of absolute poverty, where malnutrition and seasonal famine are not just a consistent fear, but also a frequent reality in their lives. On the other hand, the unemployment rate, currently estimated at between 25% and 35%, threatens to get out of hand as roughly 0.5 million school dropouts continue to join the ranks of the unemployed every year.

2.0 The economic context: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
Tanzania has a population of just over 37 million, a GDP of US$22 billion, and GDP per capita of US$610.6 An estimated 51 per cent of the population lives below the poverty line. Eighty per cent of the country’s poor population live in rural areas, depending on subsistence agriculture and unable to participate in broader markets. Poor roads, exorbitantly expensive utilities and prohibitive policies have compounded this problem, significantly impeding the growth of the economy.7 Agriculture, the mainstay of the economy, is almost 50 per cent of GDP, and small-scale peasant farmers, who make up 70 per cent of the population, carry out over 80 per cent of agricultural activities. About 30 per cent of the population over 15 years of age is illiterate (UDEC, 2002).
1.0 Introduction: Microfinance in Africa - Experience and Lessons from Selected African Countries
Small enterprises and most of the poor population in sub-Saharan Africa have very limited access to deposit and credit facilities and other financial services provided by formal financial institutions. For example, in Ghana and Tanzania, only about 5–6 percent of the population has access to the banking sector. This lack of access to financial services from the formal financial system is quite striking, when one considers that in many African countries the poor represent the largest share of the population and that the informal sector is an important part of the economy.

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.
