Economic Empowerment Approaches- Sudan Practice

1. Individual Finance field Example

Contracts Used: Muzaraa (Venture capital in Agriculture production), Lease and Leasing financial Products: Ijarah (Lease), Leasing, Mozaraa : contract in farming where the financier can provide land or funds in return for a share of the harvest.Murabaha: is essentially a form of trade credit, in terms of which the lender(s) actually purchases and becomes the legal owner of the goods ordered by the client, and then resells them to the client on delivery, at a previously agreed on price higher than the initial cost of the goods. However, the client has no legal obligation to buy what the lender has purchased on his/her behalf. [The repayment pattern and other terms of finance should be agreed upon by both parties (Seller(s) and Buyer) in a Murabaha Contract.

• Persuasion in solution of poverty not only by financial inclusion but in economic and social inclusion

• The large number of poor force us to work with them as SME and unified groups and not individual finances for micro activities.

• The existing environment force us to think on economic basis and not only financial basis.

• Absence of collaterals push us to innovate new financial tools.

• Moving ahead to economic empowerment instead of microfinance activity.

• The legal, political and management aspects, did not reach the level where the field aspect is reached.

• Regulation pushes to implement 12% of CBs financial resources and not 12% of economic resources ( financial direction only)

• Absence of Solidarity unified group regulation.

• Absence of regulation for financing without credits.

• Set ceilings despite feasibility

• Financial MIS and not Economical Empowerment MIS.• Absence of feasibility studies

• Absence of economic and social indicators

• Absence of project follow up and focus only on repayment follow up

• Greatness of needs call to diverse the resources and start to depend on capitals 97.5% and not only 2.5% charity resources.

• It is necessary to revise/upgrade the environment of microfinance in Sudan to match with the field practices in Sudan.
