    Abstract

    We analysed loan distribution data in different project sites from 2005 to 2009. We found that 50% of loan recipients were from a resource-poor category, 63% were female and 66% were members from groups such as Dalits, Janjati, Madhesi and Muslims (Table 2.9.2). These results indicate that the CBM funds provided were successful in promoting social inclusion within the project sites.
