The Caisses Villageoises d'Epargne et de Credit Autogerees in the Dogon region of Mali: elements of impact

Ouattara, Korotoumou, et al.

The Caisses Villageoises d'Epargne et de Credit Autogerees were created in 1986 by the Centre International de Developpement et de Recherche, and operated for 11 years. In 1997, they were replaced by a Malian structure, and an impact study was undertaken to examine the Caisses at the individual, household, village and regional levels. This report contains the first component of that study, a quantitative assessment of the economic impact.
