| contents | <p>This study examines the impact of gender-targeted microfinance on agricultural yield among smallholder farmers in Haut-Uélé Province, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Qualitative and quantitative methods were employed to collect data from a sample of smallholder farmers, including interviews, surveys, and yield assessments. Microfinance interventions showed significant positive effects on agricultural output in areas where women received targeted funding, particularly in maize yields which increased by 15% compared to control groups. Gender-specific microfinance programmes have the potential to enhance agricultural productivity among smallholder farmers, especially for female participants. Further research should explore scalability and sustainability of these interventions across different regions of DRC and other developing countries.</p> |
