                      Microfinance Institutions (MFI) are the alternative sources of finance for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in place of the Formal Financial Institutions. Researchers argue that MFIs are useful as they reduce poverty through increased income and standards of living; empower women; develop the business sector through growth potentials and develop a parallel financial sector. This paper examines the extent to which MFIs contribute to poverty reduction in Tanzania. |
