Based on fieldwork in Tanzania, Zambia, Uganda, and Ghana, in the paper we provide new evidence that young people’s engagement with savings groups in Africa is deeply embedded in networks of family and social relations. Savings group members rely on money that is given to them by partners and family members to make savings contributions to the groups, while they also transfer some of their share-outs and loans to family members and friends. This is particularly true for younger members. As such we argue that the socially embedded nature of young people's engagement with savings group needs to be taken into account. The tension between the primary focus on the individual within youth saving programming, and the socially embedded nature of their engagement, has important implications for programme design, implementation and evaluation.
基于在坦桑尼亚、赞比亚、乌干达和加纳的实地调查,我们在论文中提供了新的证据,证明非洲年轻人与储蓄团体的接触深深植根于家庭和社会关系网络中。储蓄团体成员依靠伴侣和家庭成员给他们的钱为团体储蓄,同时他们也将部分份额和贷款转移给家人和朋友。年轻成员尤其如此。因此,我们认为,需要考虑到年轻人参与储蓄群体的社会嵌入性质。青年储蓄方案中对个人的主要关注与他们参与的社会嵌入性质之间的紧张关系,对方案的设计、实施和评估具有重要意义。

Financial inclusion and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: a missed opportunity 普惠金融与2030年可持续发展议程:错失良机

Approximately 2 billion adults, just below half of the world’s adult population, are financially excluded. They lack access to formal or semi-formal savings, credit, and insurance services. The vast majority of these adults live a hand-to-mouth existence in the developing world. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development takes a rather unambitious approach to financial inclusion (FI). It recognizes its importance in advancing several sustainable development goals (SDGs), but it does not include it as a stand-alone goal. This paper criticizes this approach and claims that the new agenda has been a missed opportunity to focus efforts on finding ways of meeting the financial needs of the global poor. We analyse three of the main reasons for not including FI as a sustainable goal: namely, the instrumentality argument, the free market argument, and the veil argument.
大约20亿成年人(略低于世界成年人口的一半)在经济上被排除在外。他们无法获得正式或半正式的储蓄、信贷和保险服务。这些成年人中的绝大多数生活在发展中国家,只能勉强糊口。《2030年可持续发展议程》对普惠金融采取了一种相当温和的做法。它承认其在推进若干可持续发展目标(sdg)方面的重要性,但并未将其作为一个单独的目标。本文对这种做法提出了批评,并声称新议程错失了一个集中精力寻找满足全球贫困人口金融需求的途径的机会。我们分析了不将金融服务作为可持续目标的三个主要原因:即工具性论点、自由市场论点和面纱论点。

Financial sustainability of microfinance institutions in sub-Saharan Africa: evidence from GMM estimates 撒哈拉以南非洲小额金融机构的财务可持续性:来自GMM估计的证据
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2017-09-01 DOI: 10.3362/1755-1986.16-00023
Sydney Chikalipah
This paper examines what determines financial sustainability among 324 microfinance institutions (MFI) in 33 sub-Saharan African countries for the period covering 2003 to 2014. Using a well-specified Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimation technique, the empirical results provide strong evidence that return on assets (ROA) is the major determinant of financial sustainability of microfinance institutions in sub-Saharan Africa. This significant finding suggests that MFIs’ ability to generate higher net income from their credit portfolio is the critical factor for achieving financial sustainability. The implication of these findings is that MFIs should implement robust pre-loan screening systems, which can assess the creditworthiness of borrowers. This would undoubtedly contribute to reducing the loan default rates among MFIs operating in the region.
本文研究了2003年至2014年期间,在33个撒哈拉以南非洲国家的324家小额金融机构中,是什么决定了金融可持续性。使用一种明确的广义矩方法(GMM)估计技术,实证结果提供了强有力的证据,表明资产回报率是撒哈拉以南非洲小额金融机构财务可持续性的主要决定因素。这一重要发现表明,小额金融机构从其信贷组合中产生更高净收入的能力是实现金融可持续性的关键因素。这些发现的含义是,小额金融机构应该实施强有力的贷前筛选系统,该系统可以评估借款人的信用。这无疑将有助于降低在该地区经营的小额金融机构的贷款违约率。

Guest Editorial: Does ‘microfinance’ mean what it used to? 客座编辑:“小额信贷”的意思和过去一样吗?
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2017-09-01 DOI: 10.3362/1755-1986.2017.28-3ED
W. Steel
What does ‘microfinance’ really mean in these days of financial inclusion and digital financial services? Is ‘financial inclusion’ simply a rebranding of ‘microfinance’, that is itself a rebranding of ‘microenterprise credit’? In the 1990s, microfinance became recognized as a set of methodologies that can make provision of financial services to the lower-income, ‘unbanked’ population viable and affordable. ‘Banking for the poor’ involved managing the costs and risks that made commercial banks avoid small financial transactions and informal enterprises – largely by passing them on to clients via solidarity groups and by using dynamic incentives such as short repayment periods and gradually increasing loan sizes. Initially, ‘microfinance’ and ‘microfinance institutions’ (MFIs) were virtually synonymous – both implying outside the formal financial system.
在金融普惠和数字金融服务盛行的今天,“小额信贷”究竟意味着什么?“普惠金融”是否只是“小额信贷”的重新命名,而“小额信贷”本身就是“小额企业信贷”的重新命名?在20世纪90年代,小额信贷被认为是一套方法,可以为低收入的“无银行账户”人口提供可行和负担得起的金融服务。“面向穷人的银行业务”涉及管理使商业银行避免小额金融交易和非正规企业的成本和风险,主要是通过团结团体将这些交易和企业转嫁给客户,并采用动态激励措施,如缩短还款期和逐步增加贷款规模。最初,“小额信贷”和“小额信贷机构”(MFIs)实际上是同义词——都意味着在正规金融体系之外。

Value chain development in Nicaragua: prevailing approaches and tools used for design and implementation 尼加拉瓜的价值链发展:用于设计和实施的普遍方法和工具
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2017-03-01 DOI: 10.3362/1755-1986.16-00035
J. Donovan, D. Stoian, Keith Poe
This article draws on four contrasting cases of value chain development (VCD) in Nicaragua to assess approaches and tools used in design and implementation. We interviewed 28 representatives from the international NGOs leading the interventions, the local NGOs that participated in implementation, principal buyers, and cooperatives. Despite the complexity of market systems, results showed a relatively basic approach to VCD, reflected in: 1) reliance on a single tool for design and implementation; 2) expected outcomes based on technical assistance and training for smallholders and cooperatives; 3) local NGOs and cooperatives with key roles in implementation; and 4) limited engagement with other chain actors, service providers, and researchers. We conclude with a call for a broader approach to VCD, based on a combination of tools to account for multiple, context-specific needs of diverse stakeholders, deeper collaboration between key actors within and outside the value chain, and evidence-based reflection an...

Value chain financing: evidence from Zambia on smallholder access to finance for mechanization 价值链融资:赞比亚关于小农户获得机械化融资的证据

Smallholder farmers in Zambia comprise 85 per cent of the farmers’ population. Such farmers are regarded as not creditworthy and furthermore their agricultural productivity could be improved. The aim of this paper is to present recent evidence on value chain financing (VCF) as a framework to increase access to agricultural finance for Zambian smallholder farmers. Such financing will act as an enabler to mechanize and, in turn, might improve productivity. Qualitative data collection techniques were followed to provide the results as presented in three illustrative case studies. Each case study highlights the benefits of financing, using the value chain framework, but also emphasizes certain challenges and risks associated with the approach. The Zambian case is not perfect, but provides recent evidence of how various roleplayers in Zambia’s agricultural sector have applied the VCF framework to coordinate the actions of various chain actors, and by doing so allow smallholders access to finance within the local and country-specific context. Although two of the three VCF programmes have been discontinued, they still provide useful learning points: for instance, commercial banks should assign more resources to manage the VCF products; and the risk should be shared between all the VCF participants.
赞比亚的小农占农民人口的85%。这样的农民被认为是没有信誉的,而且他们的农业生产力可以提高。本文的目的是介绍价值链融资(VCF)作为一个框架的最新证据,以增加赞比亚小农获得农业融资的机会。这种融资将有助于实现机械化,进而可能提高生产率。采用定性数据收集技术,在三个说明性案例研究中提供了结果。每个案例研究都强调了使用价值链框架融资的好处,但也强调了与该方法相关的某些挑战和风险。赞比亚的案例并不完美,但它提供了最近的证据,表明赞比亚农业部门的各种角色参与者如何应用VCF框架来协调各种连锁行为者的行动,并通过这样做,使小农能够在当地和国家具体情况下获得融资。虽然三个VCF计划中有两个已经停止,但它们仍然提供了有用的学习要点:例如,商业银行应分配更多资源来管理VCF产品;风险应由所有VCF参与者共同承担。

Household-microenterprise – the missing link in gendered value chain analysis: lessons from an analysis of dairy chains in Nicaragua 家庭微型企业——性别价值链分析中缺失的一环:尼加拉瓜乳制品链分析的经验教训

In Nicaragua, gender analysis in value chains is usually restricted to a study of men and women as producers or workers within the chain itself. This overlooks many relevant dimensions of gender struggles. We therefore propose a gender analysis in value chains that pays attention to the interrelation of the value chain with intra-household dynamics in microenterprises and the broader community. We apply our approach to two dairy chains, not to compare which is better for women producers but to show the gender complexity in both that needs to be considered in value chain analyses. Based on case studies, we identify gender differentiation overlapping with conflictual-cooperative relations between men and women within the sphere of economic and family relations in the two dairy chains.
在尼加拉瓜,价值链中的性别分析通常仅限于研究男性和女性作为价值链本身的生产者或工人。这忽略了性别斗争的许多相关方面。因此,我们提出价值链中的性别分析,关注价值链与微型企业和更广泛社区的家庭内部动态之间的相互关系。我们将我们的方法应用于两个乳制品链,不是为了比较哪个对女性生产者更好,而是为了显示在价值链分析中需要考虑的性别复杂性。在案例研究的基础上,我们发现在两个乳制品连锁店的经济和家庭关系中,性别差异与男女之间的冲突-合作关系重叠。

Crossfire: 'private sector engagement in smallholder value chains'. 交叉火力:“私营部门参与小农价值链”。

Improved access by disadvantaged smallholders and other poor people to lucrative agri-food value chains remains one of the most promising options for reducing rural poverty at scale. There is general agreement that the private sector plays a critical role in building value chains with the rural poor; however, debate in EDM and elsewhere has said little about the conditions under which the private sector is willing and able to lead the way in building inclusive value chains. This crossfire brings together two experts, John Belt of the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) and Jonathan Hellin of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), to debate the following proposition: Value chains are more likely to include and substantially benefit large numbers of poor producers, and to continue to do so, if they are initiated, financed and managed by private for-profit businesses rather than by donors or NGOs.
改善弱势小农和其他贫困人口进入利润丰厚的农业食品价值链的机会,仍然是大规模减少农村贫困最有希望的选择之一。人们普遍认为,私营部门在与农村贫困人口建立价值链方面发挥着关键作用;然而,EDM和其他地方的辩论几乎没有谈到私营部门愿意并能够在何种条件下领导建立包容性价值链。这场争论汇集了两位专家,皇家热带研究所(KIT)的John Belt和国际玉米小麦改良中心(CIMMYT)的Jonathan Hellin,他们对以下命题进行了辩论:如果价值链是由私营营利性企业而不是捐助者或非政府组织发起、资助和管理的,那么价值链更有可能包括大量贫困生产者并使其切实受益,并将继续这样做。

Value chain development in Vietnam: a look at approaches used and options for improved impact 越南的价值链发展:考察所使用的方法和改善影响的选择
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2017-03-01 DOI: 10.3362/1755-1986.16-00034
B. Even, J. Donovan
Despite the widespread use of value chain development (VCD) approaches to poverty reduction, there has been limited debate on how VCD is implemented in the field, from the approaches, methods, and tools used, to the investments and partnerships made. The article presents five case studies: tea, dairy, horticulture, cinnamon, and fish in Vietnam. For each case, we conducted interviews with development agencies, producer organizations, and principal buyers. The cases examined how VCD interventions were designed, the role of different stakeholders in the implementation process, and the challenges faced by practitioners and chain actors to achieve impact at scale.

尽管价值链发展方法被广泛用于减贫,但关于如何在实地实施价值链发展的辩论有限,从使用的方法、方法和工具,到投资和建立的伙伴关系。文章介绍了五个案例研究:越南的茶叶、乳制品、园艺、肉桂和鱼类。对于每一个案例,我们都对开发机构、生产组织和主要买家进行了采访。这些案例考察了VCD干预措施是如何设计的,不同利益相关者在实施过程中的作用,以及从业者和连锁行为者在实现大规模影响方面面临的挑战。结果表明,VCD干预措施往往侧重于支持小农户参与高价值、快速增长的市场,但基于一系列狭窄的活动,主要围绕提高小农户生产能力和建立生产者协会。总体而言,与下游买家和服务提供商的合作受到抑制。。。

Voluntary commodity standards are widely used to enhance the performance of tropical agro-food chains and to support the welfare and sustainability of smallholder farmers. Different methods and approaches are used to assess the effectiveness and impact of these certification schemes at farm-household, village, cooperative, and regional level. We provide an overview of the results from robust impact studies on coffee, tea, banana, cocoa, and cotton certification programmes. Overall outcomes show rather modest net revenue effects for farmers, small direct income effect for wage workers, and contested sustainability effects. Most impact studies focus on primary sourcing, but devote less attention to changes in trust and governance throughout the value chain. Moreover, implications for gender issues and supply chain trust are not always fully addressed. In order to better understand these somewhat disappointing effects, we discuss different fallacies and drawbacks that affect impact studies concerning commodi...
自愿性商品标准被广泛用于提高热带农业食品链的绩效,并支持小农的福利和可持续性。在农户、村庄、合作社和区域各级,采用了不同的方法和途径来评估这些认证计划的有效性和影响。我们提供了对咖啡、茶、香蕉、可可和棉花认证项目的强有力的影响研究结果的概述。总体结果显示,对农民的净收入影响相当有限,对工薪阶层的直接收入影响很小,对可持续性的影响存在争议。大多数影响研究集中在主要采购上,但是很少关注整个价值链中信任和治理的变化。此外,对性别问题和供应链信任的影响并不总是得到充分解决。为了更好地理解这些有些令人失望的结果,我们讨论了影响商品影响研究的不同谬论和缺陷。
