The aim of the Linking Bank Credit Model (LBCM) is to combine the comparative advantages of the Vietnam Bank for the Poor (VBP)--strong capacities in banking and rural credit management--and the Women's Union (WU)--strong grass-roots networks at village levels--to enable ethnic minority women to increase household food security and income through agricultural production loans from the VBP.
Objectives of the evaluation:
- To assess the impact of savings and credit activities on the lives of village Women's Savings and Credit Group (WSCG) members
- To assess the appropriateness and effectiveness of the LBCM and to make recommendations to UNICEF, the VBP and Committee for Ethnic Minorities in Mountainous Areas addressing appropriate strategies for credit provision in mountainous, poor ethnic minority communities
