| description | It is known that the majority of the rural people in the developing world are subject to severe poverty, inequality and unemployment. Over the years, there have been a few institutional approaches which were experimented to eliminate poverty from these societies, and according to many analysts, microfinance has been considerably successful in achieving this goal of alleviating poverty.

Currently, it is common to find a Poverty Reduction Strategy which includes microfinance as an element of the national development.
