This chapter examines the performance of microfinance institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa through observations from different perspectives. It examined the effects of microfinance institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa. Relevant literature on the sustainability and outreach of microfinance institutions are also analysed in this chapter. Sub-Saharan Africa's future achievement of necessary economic growth is very likely to depend partly on its ability to develop its economic and financial sectors to be more inclusive of small and medium enterprises in a more comprehensive way. Currently, microfinance directly promotes the development of the intermediate financial sector in Africa, which is positively correlated with economic growth. Despite the worsening of the current industrial crisis, microfinance is seen as an essential developmental tool and continues to grow in Sub-Saharan Africa.
本章通过不同角度的观察,考察了撒哈拉以南非洲地区小额信贷机构的表现。它研究了撒哈拉以南非洲地区小额信贷机构的影响。本章还分析了小额信贷机构的可持续性和外联性的相关文献。撒哈拉以南非洲未来能否实现必要的经济增长,很可能在一定程度上取决于其发展经济和金融部门的能力,以便更全面地包容中小企业。目前,小额信贷直接促进了非洲中间金融部门的发展,与经济增长呈正相关。尽管目前的工业危机日益恶化,但小额信贷被视为一种重要的发展工具,并在撒哈拉以南非洲继续增长。

Islamic Social Finance: Integrating Zakah Funds in Microfinance and Microenterprise Support Programs 伊斯兰社会金融:在小额信贷和微型企业支持项目中整合天课基金
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-7499-7.ch006
O. Kachkar, Marwa Alfares
Alleviating poverty and inequality are among the central objectives of zakah in the Islamic economic system. These objectives are also on top of the 17 SDGs of the UN 2030 Agenda. This research argues that microenterprise support programs (MSPs) have been proven as effective tools in combating poverty. However, lack of funds has always been a major challenge for the sustainability of those programs. Channeling zakah funds to MSPs will directly contribute to empowering deprived populations and helping them to lift themselves out of the poverty cycle. Two zakah-based MSPs have been analyzed in this chapter. The first one is the Asnaf Entrepreneurship Program of Lembaga Zakah, Malaysia and the second one is Baitul Maal Muamalat Indonesia (BMMI). According to literature, using zakah in (MSPs) requires a strict implementation of best practices including screening program beneficiaries, providing professional training and monitoring to businesses, and finally applying a graduation scheme.
减轻贫困和不平等是伊斯兰经济体系天课的中心目标之一。这些目标也位于联合国2030年议程17项可持续发展目标之上。本研究认为,微型企业支持计划(MSPs)已被证明是对抗贫困的有效工具。然而,缺乏资金一直是这些项目可持续性的主要挑战。将天课资金输送给msp将直接有助于赋予贫困人口权力,并帮助他们摆脱贫困循环。本章分析了两种基于天卡的msp。第一个是马来西亚兰巴加扎卡的阿斯纳夫创业计划,第二个是印度尼西亚的Baitul Maal Muamalat (BMMI)。根据文献,在msp中使用天课需要严格执行最佳实践,包括筛选计划受益人,为企业提供专业培训和监督,最后应用毕业计划。

This chapter examined the factors that affect the use of microfinance for microbusiness development in Ghana. The study employed semi-structured survey questionnaire to determine whether an entrepreneur's personal attributes impede or facilitate microbusiness development in Ghana. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the effects of entrepreneur's personal attributes on the monthly sales, number of employees, business assets, and capital stock of microbusinesses that received credit from a microfinance provider in the northern region of Ghana. The findings of the study suggest that micro-entrepreneur prior work experience, occupation, and prior income facilitate the use of microfinance for microbusiness development. These findings have policy implications for the government of Ghana and other agencies that are interested in using microfinance as a catalyst for economic growth in deprived communities in the country.
本章考察了影响加纳微型企业发展使用小额信贷的因素。本研究采用半结构化调查问卷来确定企业家的个人属性是否阻碍或促进了加纳微型企业的发展。通过多元线性回归分析,确定了企业家个人属性对加纳北部地区接受小额信贷提供者贷款的小额企业的月销售额、员工人数、企业资产和资本存量的影响。研究结果表明,微型企业家之前的工作经验、职业和先前的收入有助于利用小额信贷促进微型企业的发展。这些发现对加纳政府和其他有兴趣利用小额信贷作为该国贫困社区经济增长催化剂的机构具有政策意义。

Role of Microfinance in Entrepreneurship Development
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-7499-7.ch002
N. Baporikar
Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship development are crucial for social and economic development. Various studies highlight and reckon this aspect of entrepreneurship development both in developed and developing economies. However, entrepreneurship development though the aim of many developing economies, the growth rate of entrepreneurs is not satisfactory. One of the prominent reasons for this is attributable to financing or lack of financing. Hence, adopting a systematic literature review method the aim of this chapter is to review critically the role of microfinance for entrepreneurship development. Further, the chapter provides solutions and recommendations for proper microfinancing to boost entrepreneurship development.
企业家精神和发展企业家精神对社会和经济发展至关重要。各种研究都强调并考虑了发达经济体和发展中经济体创业发展的这一方面。然而,企业家精神的发展虽然是许多发展中经济体的目标,但企业家的增长速度并不令人满意。其中一个突出的原因是融资或缺乏融资。因此,采用系统的文献回顾方法,本章的目的是批判性地回顾小额信贷对创业发展的作用。此外,本章还提供了适当小额信贷促进创业发展的解决方案和建议。

Microfinance Impact on Microbusiness Development in Africa 小额信贷对非洲微型企业发展的影响

This chapter applies the control group experiment to study whether microfinance improved microbusiness growth in Ghana. According to this approach, statistically significant difference in the outcome between treatment and control groups is an indication of impact of the microcredit on microbusiness development. Thus, this chapter compares the mean monthly sales, number of employees, business assets, and capital stock of microbusinesses that received microfinance (the treatment group) and the mean monthly sales, number of employees, business assets, and capital stock of microbusinesses that did not receive microfinance (the non-treatment group) in seven municipalities identified by various non-governmental organisations as areas of financial exclusion in the Northern Region of Ghana using survey data. Results indicate that microfinance impacted positively on microbusiness development. These findings have policy implications for the government of Ghana and agencies that are interested in using microfinance as a catalyst for economic growth in deprived communities in other countries.
本章采用对照组实验来研究小额信贷是否促进了加纳微型企业的增长。根据该方法,实验组和对照组之间的结果有统计学上的显著差异,表明小额信贷对微型企业发展的影响。因此,本章使用调查数据比较了加纳北部地区被各种非政府组织确定为金融排斥地区的七个城市中,接受小额信贷的微型企业(待遇组)的月平均销售额、雇员人数、商业资产和资本存量,以及未接受小额信贷的微型企业(非待遇组)的月平均销售额、雇员人数、商业资产和资本存量。结果表明,小额信贷对小微企业的发展有积极的影响。这些发现对加纳政府和有意利用小额信贷作为其他国家贫困社区经济增长催化剂的机构具有政策意义。

The Shortfalls of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Act 2010 in Achieving Sustainable Development 2010年尼日利亚石油和天然气工业内容法在实现可持续发展方面的不足
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-7499-7.ch011

This chapter examines the impact that the concept of “sustainable development” in the Nigerian oil and gas industry has had and is likely to have upon the development of energy, resources, and economic growth in the future of Nigeria upon the focus and scope of energy, resource, and environmental law practice associated with that development. The chapter will adopt the definition of sustainable development as articulated in the Brundtland Report by the World Commission on Environment and Development. It will examine the legal status of Sections 10 and 12 of the Nigerian Oil Industry Content Development Act 2010 and its implication on international trade and sustainable development. The chapter argues that Sections 10 and 12 of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Act 2010 do not reflect the meaning and intention of the Brundtland's definition of sustainable development, which evinces normative values, values of equity, and justice for all.
本章考察了尼日利亚石油和天然气行业的“可持续发展”概念对尼日利亚未来能源、资源和经济增长的影响,以及与该发展相关的能源、资源和环境法律实践的重点和范围。本章将采用世界环境与发展委员会《布伦特兰报告》所阐述的可持续发展的定义。它将审查2010年尼日利亚石油工业内容发展法案第10条和第12条的法律地位及其对国际贸易和可持续发展的影响。本章认为,2010年尼日利亚石油和天然气行业内容法案的第10条和第12条并没有反映布伦特兰对可持续发展定义的含义和意图,这表明了规范的价值观、公平的价值观和正义。

The Relationship Between Developmental Social Work, Poverty Alleviation, and Sustainable Development in Nigeria 尼日利亚发展性社会工作、扶贫与可持续发展的关系

C. Ugwoji
This chapter explores the nexus between developmental social work (DSW) and sustainable development in Nigeria with the specific aim of outlining the issues, challenges, and opportunities involved therein as they affect Nigeria's social development and social work. Social work, which promotes the advancement of social wellbeing, social change, empowerment, and liberation of the vulnerable groups, is an integral concept of DSW. DSW maps out a new direction for social work practice, offering processes to address the causes of societal dysfunction and socioeconomic challenges faced by the people. This approach could be used to tackle Nigeria's social issues and poverty. This chapter argues that there is overlap for DSW to promote and contribute to the realisation of sustainable development, the literary and documentary sources, and the review thereof shows that there is a relationship between DSW and sustainable development as both are geared towards promoting the welfare of the people.
本章探讨了发展社会工作(DSW)与尼日利亚可持续发展之间的联系,具体目的是概述其中涉及的问题、挑战和机遇,因为它们影响着尼日利亚的社会发展和社会工作。社会工作是社会福利的一个重要概念,它促进社会福利、社会变革、赋权和弱势群体的解放。DSW为社会工作实践指明了一个新的方向,提供了解决社会功能失调的原因和人们面临的社会经济挑战的过程。这种方法可以用来解决尼日利亚的社会问题和贫困问题。本章认为,DSW在促进和促进实现可持续发展方面有重叠之处,文学和文献资料的来源,其回顾显示DSW与可持续发展之间存在关系,因为两者都旨在促进人民的福祉。

Victoria Temitope, Seema Sharma
The aim of this study is to investigate the entrepreneurial success factors of Nigerian women entrepreneurs based in the UK. An exploratory case study approach was used to gather the primary data from 15 small businesses run by Nigerian women entrepreneurs in the UK. The data collection was conducted through face-to-face semi-structured interviews, observations, and published sources. The data was thematically analysed using NVivo. The main findings indicated that Nigerian women entrepreneurs in the UK primarily depend on personal traits, self-funding, work experience, personal satisfaction, physical networking, and family support for business success. The most significant entrepreneurial success factor was the personal success factor. The study provided feasible recommendations for Nigerian women entrepreneurs based in the UK to put emphasis on environmental success factors and online networking, taking advantage of social media platforms for easy and quicker reach of more customers and business partners.

Small and medium-scale enterprises around the world go through several challenges in a bid to achieve success. Many studies argue SMEs face challenges in different areas; some are critical for success whilst other are not. One of the critical challenges put forward by several studies is finding appropriate funding. Academics have described funds as the blood of every business and a key element that prescribes the supply of entrepreneurship. The challenge of funding remains a problem around the world both in developing and underdeveloped environments. The chapter provides insight into the funding issues faced by SMEs and provides practiced ways in which businesses in developing and underdeveloped environments can address the issue of funding.
世界各地的中小企业在取得成功的过程中经历了一些挑战。许多研究认为,中小企业面临着不同领域的挑战;有些是成功的关键,而有些则不是。几项研究提出的关键挑战之一是寻找适当的资金。学者们将资金描述为每个企业的血液,是决定企业家精神供应的关键因素。无论是在发展中国家还是在欠发达国家,资金的挑战仍然是世界各地的一个问题。本章提供了中小企业所面临的资金问题的见解,并提供了在发展中国家和欠发达环境的企业可以解决资金问题的实践方法。
