Credit Co-operatives in Locally Financed Economic Development: Using Energy Efficiency as a Lever

Author

  • Robert J. McIntyre

Abstract

In most transitional and many developing countries institutions capable of supporting economic development with localized saving-investment cycles have not developed. This crucial gap is in no way addressed by either country-level macro programmes dealing with 'development finance' or by donor-driven 'micro credit' schemes of Grameen and other types operating at a lower (local) level.
