Rural finance challenges in Tanzania – the case of Kibaigwa Financial Services and Credit Cooperative Society (KIFISACCOS) in Kongwa District
(Business Minds Africa, 2012) Karumuna, L.; Akyoo, A. M.
This case gives some insight into the challenges that a rural community faces with regard to access to financial institutions. Interviews and discussions were held with the members of the community-based Kibaigwa Financial Services and Credit Cooperative society (KIFISACCOS). These results were combined with an institutional review of the co-operative. It was concluded that improved financial management and more tailored lending services would improve rural community livelihood.
