It also has a short affiliation with microfinance, few loan cycles, and no connection to poverty. Ex-post facto research design was used for conducting the research. The outreach of microfinance is question and impact and commitments to reduce poverty seems wage when institutions do not reach the actual target population. Population above poverty cannot be a good indicator for the efficiency of microfinance, while it poses greater questions on the positives impacts of microfinance.
