Credit Association Training Manual

This practical guide walks the field agent through a series of training meetings that help a group form a Credit Association and become ready to receive its first loan. The meetings help the group organize their ideas and come to consensus on Credit Association management, introduce concepts and rules of group-based lending and the importance of savings, and discuss the education component of Credit with Education. The training meetings are an excellent opportunity for the field agent to establish his or her role as facilitator and to begin the empowerment process.
