The performance of the Lesotho credit union movement: internal financing and external capital inflow

Sparreboom-Burger P.

ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Looks into the role of credit unions as a channel for financial aid to the poor, with particular emphasis on assistance from USAID between 1968 and 1992. Suggests that more internal financing would help credit cooperatives achieve greater self-sufficiency.
