FORWARD

The Amhara regional state is one of the regions in the country where the rate of poverty is the highest. The Federal Rural Development Strategy put very high emphasis on microfinance as a key force in the poverty reduction struggle. ACSI believes that, with the support of its stakeholders, it can successfully dispose the heavy responsibilities it is being charged with in this struggle.

ACSI is currently reaching 8-10% of the economically active poor that is looking for microfinance service in the region, and with good repayment rates over the years. Some rightly argue how microfinance can be successfully run in regions like ours, serving very poor people, with little education, limited marketable skill, engaged largely in agriculture which is little served by modern technology and for the most part dependant on unreliable climate, facing very poor infrastructure (particularly the rood network), small and fragile market, with people earning very precarious income inflows, etc.

Some of the success stories can be attributed to the shared vision, commitment of staff, starting from the board all the way down to the Sub Branch officer, who work in a learning environment and also because of the all-round support ACSI can manage from those in rural areas: government, NGOs, community, etc. We hope this will continue. The outreach attained is, indeed, very high for a single

    In other words, I consider that village banking should adopt the idea of “big scale”, like Banco Compartamos, so their social impact would be maximized. Additionally, village banking could evolution to a for-profit bank, this way it would be financially sustainable, therefore the bank would not depend on other people’s generosity. However, in no way village banks should profit from the poor. The profit should not be taken from the poor in order for the poor to really escape poverty. Additionally, MFIs should highly encourage savings, since it is the pathway out of poverty. To be successful, MFIs must cut costs. But many of their expenses – which are passed along to users – are inevitable. In other words, MFIs should start using systems like MPeso, so they could cut back in expenses; and, consequently, have their interest rates…

    Second, actions to alleviate poverty should focus on local needs and be sustainable to maximize its positive impact. We have witnessed the remarkable success of microfinance – a social business that focuses on making financial services accessible to the rural poor. Microfinance fills the gap where large commercial banks are unable to provide due to the cost constraint. Microfinance provides the avenue for the poor to take out small loans to grow their domestic business as well as a relatively safe platform for saving and investment. It has…

    The world as we know it has always been changing, and we as people have always learned to conform with these changes. Humans have always found a way to adapt to change, or even change a situation to make their environment better. It would all start with an idea, or a realization that change was approaching, and so the minds of all ages would start working. Often times people would look at change as a new opportunity to start again at ideas that passed. Now however, change has made people conform.…

    * Netflix is the current leader in the online video entertainment business. They gained first mover advantage with their home delivery DVD rental system, eliminating the traditional brick and mortar competitors such as Blockbuster and Movie Gallery. Netflix received brand loyal customers through their low monthly prices, the easy to use movie selection navigation software and their large and diverse selection of DVD titles. In 2012, Netflix’s DVD segment lost subscribers due to the popular demand of online streaming. Their long term objective is to shift their DVD subscribers to an online subscription base and they have been successful in accomplishing this objective through the rapidly changing social and technological trends. The environment in this industry is becoming more intense due to the increasing number of rivals. In order to maintain its position as leader, Netflix must retain their strategy of low cost, large library content and enhance customer experience. Their financial results have not been performing well for the last year due to their revenue model of licensing large amounts of content to attract new subscribers filled with debt, which may lead them to potential credit risk. In order for Netflix to gain more market share they should expand internationally and produce more original…
