Notes

1. The report points out that almost half of the members had decreasing loans over time (Bank of Uganda Citation2000b:10).

2. The report further indicates that more than 50 percent of the members had a decrease in weekly savings (ibid:11).

3. The two evaluation reports we accessed mention only the 17 registered associations but do not mention the other 10 because they were still in the formative stages. See ACORD Citation1999:7, ACORD-Mbarara Programme (UGA/11) Citation1999.

4. The responsibilities of the rural development workers (RDWs) are described in the ACORD Citation1999 report.
