2 Part 1: Prof Marijke D HAESE Objectives of the course The objective of this course is to introduce, discuss and frame aspects of rural development and to relate these to rural livelihoods and borrower perspectives of (micro)finance. We start with analyzing the perseverance and determinants of rural poverty and food insecurity. We discuss the particularities of rural areas, and discuss issues of rural poverty with regards to risk, saving and lending. Next we discuss the specificities for (micro)finance of agriculture as the main employer sector in many rural areas. Again particular attention will be on risk and lending. Three sets of key questions will be debated: (1) Why are rural areas different from urban areas in terms of potential clientele for a microfinance institution? (2) How does poverty relate to risk and finance? Are the poor more risk averse or risk takers? How do the poor react to risk? How do the poor save and borrow? (3) Why are farmers a difficult group to reach for a microfinance institution? Topics covered 1) Introduction to rural development Defining rural development Rural poverty and food insecurity Rural livelihoods concepts, characteristics, constraints Rural versus urban development 2) Poverty traps Rural poverty dynamics: development and policy implications: transitory and chronic poverty, rural poverty dynamics, uncovering poverty traps and threshold effects, development policy implications Poverty and risk Poverty and saving Poverty and lending 3) Agriculture Current trends in farming Agriculture and risk Agriculture and need for finance Evaluation Group work (debate + report). Modalities to be discussed in class. Readings - Chapters 1 & 2 from Rural Poverty Report (2011) IFAD, Rome - Chapter 3 from the World Development Report (2008) Agriculture for Development, 2007, The World Bank, Washington DC

4 Part 2: Prof Johan BASTIAENSEN Topics covered 1) Understanding MF for rural development in local institutional context Making rural microfinance work: transaction costs and social embeddedness Reconceptualizing the impact of financial services as (a contribution to) broader socio-institutional transformation Analysis of the Nicaraguan microfinance crisis and its relation to mainstream microfinance policies Examples from the FDL: some history of the FDL in recreating and maintaining credit culture in the rather adverse Nicaraguan environment; credit technologies and local social networks; interaction with local institutions: market vs patron-client norms; analysis of the No Pago Movement 2) The Finance Plus approach Concept: finance for development, link with rural development transformation, the need for high quality human capital (beyond merely financial skills) Finance Plus: developmental financial products & complementary non-financial services (illustration of approach & examples from practice) Articulating financial and non-financial services 3) The financial management of an MFI in an evolving context The Microfinance Revolution in the current era of commercialization and Crisis - How to avoid both Mission Drift and Betrayal of its lasting contributions?
