- Abstract
Self-help groups intermediated by microcredit have been shown to have positive effects on women, with some of these impacts being ripple effects. They have played valuable roles in reducing the vulnerability of the poor. Through asset creation, income and consumption smoothing, provision of emergency assistance. And empowering and emboldening women by giving them control over assets and increased self esteem and knowledge (Zaman 2001). Several recent assessment studies have also general) reported positive impacts (Sirnanowitz and Walker 2002). Impact assessment studies point to asset creation as one of the main indicators, measurable by empirical data. From field visits done by the author, and from various documented sources. It would appear that financial services, especially micro-credit, provided to self-help groups have brought about an increase in household income. For example: The 2000 United Nations Common Country Assessment for Bangladesh felt that microcredit had lessened the severity of poverty and helped to increase total income per household by 29 per cent. A World Bank study I bund that a 10 per cent increase in borrowing had led to an increase in women's non land assets by 2 percent for loans from the Grameen Bank and 1.2 percent for loans from the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC) (World Bank 1998) in India, in micro credit studies done on groups dealing with dairy farming have noted positive profit levels and short payback periods for loans (La1itha and Nagarajan 2002) Earnings generated from such undertakings have been instrumental in increasing the physical well-being of the household, often through beer nutrition and sanitation. The household's asset base has also been enhanced by the addition of jewelle (a portable asset), improved housing and land purchase in some cases. The decrease of 1990 witnessed growth of various people's organization. In this context the role of self help groups (SHG's) especially of women has assumed a critical challenge as self help groups approach is the key element of social mobilization. Linked with micro finance, the SHG approach and movement has now been accepted as an effective intervention strategy for poverty alleviation. The researcher has studied and he has given some Best Recommendations for Women empowerment through self help groups. The paper shows that the detail text about Best Recommendations for Women empowerment through self helps groups.
