Administ-ration of Community Development Banks |
Members of CDB |
Women did not manage the household resources, and what is worse, not the financial resources of the community either. |
Women manage their own resources from 64 CDBs, of which 34 additionally manage the resources from the GSD Credit Funds. These informal alternative credit structure has allowed to include women in the economic and social life of the community, to be achieving the reinforcement of the rural women organization and the improvement of the quality of lives of the rural families. |
