    (Assessing the Impact of Microenterprise Services (AIMS), 1998) Barnes, Carolyn; Morris, Gayle; Gaile, Gary; Kibombo, Richard; Kayabwe, Samuel; Namara, Agrippinah; Waalwo-Kajula, Peter
    USAID/Uganda has undertaken a two-stage assessment of the impact of microfinance services in Uganda. The objective of the assessment is to identify the impact of microfinance programs upon clients, their households and enterprises. The study will examine if participation in a microfinance program leads to improvements in the economic welfare of households, enterprise growth or stability, increases in empowerment of women, and strengthened social networks with rural areas. Utilization of survey research methods will result in identification of the nature, extent and distribution of impacts.
