Knowledge Exchange Assessing the Impact of Opportunity International’s Agricultural Lending Program

This research summary shares the exciting results of an extensive research project Opportunity completed in collaboration with The Mastercard Foundation and other generous partners in 2013 to determine the impact of our agricultural finance initiative on smallholder farmers. The document provides key information on how impoverished farmers who received financing from our banks in Ghana, Uganda and Malawi increased their crop production, yields and market access and improved their quality of life in important areas including education, health care and food security.
