6. Rural Credit Scheme in Shan State
The project has being implemented in five townships of southern Shan State (Kalaw,
Pinlaung, Pindaya, Ywangan, Naungshwe) since 1997 and funded by UNDP/UNOPS under
the HDI project. The partner agencies were Cottage industries under the Ministry of
Cooperative, MADB, and Vocational Department of Technical Agriculture and Vocational
Education. The main objectives are making credit facilities accessible to poor families with no collateral, creating self-employment through self-managed projects, strengthening local capacity to achieve self-reliance by supporting self-managed micro-credit schemes and implementing a sustainable credit institution to ensure a long-term financing system. The VCS was implemented in five townships according to the following principles:
-Free organization of the borrowers in solidarity groups of 4-6 members
-Reasonable amount of loan (+/- 20 US$) with interest rate (3.75%/month)
-Repayment schedule adapted to the local conditions: interest for every month, capital
at the end of each loan cycle (6-12 months)
-Local management through an elected village credit committee in charge of all daily
activities, under supervision of the professional staff
The program was provided the capacity building trainings for the project implementing staff in order to sustain the whole program and for the members to insure their adhesion and activeparticipation in the methodology.
