Abstract: This paper focuses on the link between young people's access to microcredit and performance of their business by asking whether the performance of their microenterprise can be explained by access or lack of access to microcredit. Using the survey data conducted by INSTAT and ODHD Mali among the recipients of microfinance services in 2007-2008, we, firstly, give a descriptive approach to analyze micro financing conditions and performance indicators. The propensity score matching is then used to estimate both the determinants of access to credit and the effects of access on the performance of micro-enterprises.
