Microfinance Sector Report 4Th Edition 2017
ASSOCIATION OF MICROFINANCE INSTITUTIONS (AMFI) MICROFINANCE SECTOR REPORT 4TH EDITION 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Ag. CEO) n behalf of the Association of Microfinance Institutions (AMFI) Kenya Board and Secretariat, I am proud to present the 4th edition sector report on the Microfinance Sector in Kenya. This publication comprises a section on the Kenyan microfinance sector trends as at 30th June 2017, displaying business information such as portfolio, delivery methods, different target Ogroups, branch network, sectors as well as a list of the microfinance institutions that participated. This publication is part of AMFI-Kenya’s role to foster transparency in the microfinance sector as the national professional association aiming at building the capacity of the sector to ensure the provision of high quality financial services to the low-income people. This publication is also intended to allow the Kenyan microfinance sector to benefit from increased visibility on domestic and international capital markets, besides providing individual microfinance institutions (MFIs) with benchmarks to set their standards and strategic goals. AMFI would like to gratefully and sincerely thank all participants who made the issue and the relevance of the publication possible. This publication indeed raised significant interest among MFIs and in total, we were able to count on the participation of 30 institutions from the AMFI membership comprising; 8 microfinance banks, 1 Sacco and 21 retail credit only microfinance institutions. The data was collected, analyzed and compared between two periods ending 31st December 2016 and 30th June 2017 where applicable. We believe that the publication of this report is a very positive step towards enhancing transparency in the sector. -
A Social Constructionist Approach to Health and Wellbeing of Young People in Kenya
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Bleeding Bodies, Untrustworthy Bodies: A Social Constructionist Approach to Health and Wellbeing of Young People in Kenya Elizabeth Opiyo Onyango 1,2,* and Susan J. Elliott 1 1 Department of Geography and Environmental Management, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON N2N 1N2, Canada; [email protected] 2 School of Nursing and Midwifery, Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kakamega 50100, Kenya * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 23 September 2020; Accepted: 9 October 2020; Published: 17 October 2020 Abstract: The Sustainable Development Goals provide a global development agenda that is meant to be inclusive of all people. However, the development needs for vulnerable populations such as youth are not reflected within the policy agenda of some developing countries. One of the reasons for this is that research that explores health and wellbeing concerns for young people are sparse in the region and where they exist, the focus has been on marginalized subgroups. To address this gap, this cross-sectional study explored the health and wellbeing of youth in Kenya. We conducted 10 focus group discussions and 14 in-depth interviews with youth ages 15 to 24 years. A thematic analysis of the data revealed that structural factors are important influencers of youth perceptions and their social constructions of health and wellbeing. Kenyan youth are concerned about the health status and healthcare services in their communities, as well as issues of community trust of youths and perceived risks of political misuse and emotional suffering. Our findings suggest that youth transitioning into adulthood in resource-constrained areas experience feelings of powerlessness and inability to take charge over their own life. -
