چکیده
Since 1989, CRS Senegal has been implementing microfinance (MF) activities in partnership with the local Catholic Church dioceses and Caritas offices, using the village banking methodology. In 1999, CRS and Caritas Senegal began a MF institutional transformation process that joined the most successful village banking program in the diocese of Thiès and two CRS MF projects in the Casamance region to form the Caisse Autonome pour le Renforcement des Initiatives Economiques par la Microfinance (CAURIE-MF). Formally launched in October 2005, CAURIE-MF links credit with savings for poor women micro-entrepreneurs who do not have access to formal financial services.
