Project to strengthen the capacity of the Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation's (BSCIC) Women's Entrepreneurship Credit Program (WED-1), which makes loans to informal businesses managed by women. WED-1, which was a pilot activity under Project 3880042, combines "anti-poverty" (under $300) with "microenterprise or growth-oriented" ($300-$1500) lending. The project will implemented by BSCIC's Women's Entrepreneurship Development Program (WEDP) Unit. Under the first component, the WEDP Unit will increase its sustainability and assume increasing responsibility for its operations from BSCIC, which under WED-1 played a significant administrative role in the Unit's operations. The Unit will make progress toward (though it will not achieve) financial self-sufficiency by increasing efficiency and loan recovery, making more loans, and making every effort to charge interest rates more in line with costs. Activities will be as follows. (1) The WEDP Unit will strengthen its personnel capacities by adding a financial manager and a rural credit advisor to its headquarters staff and a second fieldworker at each field office, and by developing a field performance incentive system.
