1.2 Statement of the Problem
Microfinance constitute the facilitation of financial services to meet the needs of low income individuals such as micro-entrepreneurs, through the provision of small loans (microloans), small savings deposits (micro-savings), micro-insurance and enhancing simple payments services required by micro-entrepreneurs and economically active poor people who cannot gain access to financial services provided by the formal banking sector.(USAID, 2000).The inability of the poor and small entreprenuers to access conventional banking services precipated the formulation of the microfinance policy to address the financial need of this poor and vulnerable segment of the society particularly the women. The loans provided are small in amount and directed for entrepreneurial ventures.
