Two Bilingual Editions (French-English and French-Lao)
French Title: Les systèmes financiers pour le développement
rural. Actes du séminaire régional organisé au
Laos en octobre 1995 sous l'égide de la Banque de la République
démocratique populaire lao.
SUMMARY
When it comes to rural funding, the situation in the Lao People's
Democratic Republic is similar to that in the Kingdom of Cambodia
and in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam--a political will to emphasise
rural development, a need to set up one or more financial structures
and awareness of the need for decentralisation. While each country
elaborates its own strategy to reach these goals, they have several
factors in common such as recent credit systems and institutional
and legal frameworks in the process of being elaborated. This bilingual
book (in French and English or English and Lao) covers the essential
of the discussions.

The Micro-Economic Impact of Rural Credit in Cambodia
Pascal Bousso, Pierre Daubert, Nathalie Gauthier, Martin Parent, Cécile
Ziéglé
French-English Bilingual Edition
French Title: L'impact micro-économique du crédit
rural au Cambodge.
SUMMARY
This book presents the results of the research on the microeconomic
impact of rural credit in Cambodia carried out between 1995 and 1996.
The survey included 743 families in 8 villages located in Kandal,
Konpong Speu and Prey Veng Provinces. In 1991, GRET launched a rural
credit system. GRET gradually withdrew from the project in favour
of a financial institution that is in the process of formalising its
status, Ennatien Moulethan Tchonnebat (EMT, "local rural credit"
in English). This book starts by shedding light on household budgets
and EMT's operational methods. It then presents the theoretical aspects
of the impact of credit and the methodology applied. Finally, the
research results are given, focusing on a number of subjects such
as the nature of the clientele, the various ways the loans are used,
the profits they generate, etc.

The Micro-Economic Impact of Rural Credit in Northern
Vietnam
Pascale Le Roy, Mathias Robert
French-English Bilingual Edition
French Title: L'impact micro-économique du credit rural
au Nord Vietnam.
SUMMARY
The aim of this book is to shed light on microfinance in Vietnam by
studying a local situation. It presents the results of a microeconomic
impact study of rural credit carried out in 1997 and 1998 that surveyed
175 households in a commune in northern Vietnam. This study addresses
two main subjects: the kinds of clients that use the sources of credit
we identified and the microeconomic impact that the credit has on
clients. This book is part of GRET's ongoing efforts since 1995 to
analyse and disseminate information on the impact of microcredit.

Water and Health in Underprivileged Urban Areas
GRET, Water Solidarity Network (pS-Eau)
Available in English or Spanish (out of print in French)
French Title: L'eau et la santé dans les quartiers urbains
dévaforisés
SUMMARY
How can one transform the strategic choices of the Rio Earth Summit
as set forth in Agenda 21 into concrete programmes? The French government
wanted to contribute to this task. In February 1994, it brought together
experts and practitioners from more than forty countries in Africa,
Asia, Europe and the Americas in order to treat a crucial aspect of
this issue: the ties between water and health in underprivileged neighbourhoods
of third-world cities. This book offers a useful record of the work
produced by this meeting.

Water and Sustainable Development: Experiences
from Civil Society
Available in English or French

SUMMARY
Civil society in developed and developing countries and local governments
have pooled their reflections in this work in order to contribute
concretely to improving protection and management strategies for freshwater
resources in rural and urban zones while keeping in mind the goals
of the struggle against desertification. Illustrated case studies
setting forth representative testimony on civil society's innovative
experiences presented during the conference workshops complete this
analysis.
