Abstract

Microfinance institutions (MFIs) play a crucial role in improving access to financial services for underserved populations. Capacity-building programs, aimed at enhancing institutional and individual capabilities, are essential in determining the success of MFIs in achieving their developmental goals. This paper assesses the impact of capacity-building initiatives on the performance, outreach, and sustainability of MFIs. Using a mixed-method approach, this paper evaluates the correlation between capacity development programs and microfinance outcomes. It further explores how such programs influence financial literacy, governance, and loan repayment rates.
