Microfinance in Uganda grew rapidly between 1998 and 2003 due to a combination of significant donor funding; a shared stakeholder vision for the sector, including active government support for the vision; skilled human resources; and intensive collaboration among the major stakeholders (practitioner organizations, donor agencies, and government bodies). At the end of 2003, approximately 1,500 microfinance institutions (MFIs) were serving more than 935,000 small savers and close to 400,000 borrowers in the country. The Ugandan parliament passed the Micro Deposit-Taking Institution Act in 2003, which created the conditions for MFIs to become regulated, deposit taking institutions. Shared stakeholder vision, skilled human resources, and intensive stakeholder collaboration have been the three major drivers of effective microfinance in Uganda. The report finds that if microfinance in Uganda is to continue to flourish, a number of challenges must also be resolved. Resolution of these chal...
THE CHALLENGES AFFECTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISLAMIC MICRO FINANCING IN UGANDA A CASE STUDY OF ISLAMIC MICROFINANCE INSTITUTIONS IN KAMPALA , 2019
Microfinance is the provision of savings accounts, loans, insurance, money transfers and other banking services to customers that lack access to traditional financial services, usually because of poverty. Microfinance can also be defined as a type of banking service that is provided to unemployed or low-income individuals or groups who otherwise would have no other access to financial services. It is in some instances also called microcredit. Microfinance plays an important role in creating financial access needs in the undesirable sections of the economy and society. It helps lift masses out of poverty by providing small loans to those lacking access to traditional financial services or funding opportunities, develop small businesses that can then provide regular income, and they provide financial resources to underserved markets. As such, microfinance is an important tool not just to minimize the impacts of poverty, but also to promote house hold income and livelihoods. However micro financing has generally not been well developed and established on the global, regional and national level. Relating to Islamic micro financing, it too suffers the same issues in its development and establishment on all levels.

The program design focuseson poverty alleviation through provision of credit at an affordable cost, convenience, nocollateral or pre-saving requirement, plus provision of capacity building to clients toenhance planned for income generation activities.In the span of only two years, the microfinance program has a network outreach of 46 branch offices in 24 districts across the four (East, central, West, North) geographicalregions of Uganda. The program offers two micro credit products:Micro group lending:-1,932 member groups formed with 55472 clients. Total loandisbursed is US $ 11,727.153 to 39,888 clients at 20% annual interest rate. No collateralor pre-saving required, and services delivery at client doorstep. Success and sustainability of projects undertaken depends so much on monitoring and evaluation. Microfinance institutions have enabled increased access to credit for many individuals thus improving their livelihood. It is therefore important to understand the role of monitoring and evaluation which are essential tools that enhance the growth of microfinance institutions. The aim of the Central Bank of uganda is to see that the microfinance industry spreads out to the heart of rural homes in order to meet the needs of the unbanked through expanding access to financial services for poor individuals and families along with small businesses, especially the small, medium Scale and informal sector businesses. Such a goal also fulfills the ugadan Vision 2040 where the government aims to improve access to the financial sector and in doing so fulfill the millennium development goals. This research was conducted in Entebbe munisparity by analyzing responses got from employees and clients working in some of the leading microfinance institutions in the region. Data analysis was done to present the findings by employing statistical methods. It was found that monitoring and evaluation practices influences performance of MFIs schemes as was supported by 86.6% of the respondents. The research established that preventive monitoring and evaluation practices are not fully utilized by microfinance organizations and in addition that Information technology practices need to be incorporated when conducting monitoring and evaluation. Recommendations were made which included insuring flexibility in M&E practices that should be customer based and the use of sustainable screening techniques that enhance effective delivery of services. Moreover, training of employers and employees on customer's preferences and seeking professional assistance are essential tools for monitoring and evaluation.
