Unlocking Financial Inclusion: The Dynamics of Bank Account Ownership in Urban Slums
Financial inclusion is a key driver of sustainable development, contributing to poverty reduction (SDG 1), gender equality (SDG 5), and reduced inequalities (SDG 10). Despite extensive financial‐inclusion policies in India, residents of urban slums remain largely excluded from formal banking systems. This study examines the determinants of formal bank account use in Seelampur, one of Delhi's largest informal settlements, interpreting active accou…

Money management and entrepreneurial training in microfinance: Impact on beneficiaries and institutions
This study uses a randomized control trial to evaluate the outcome of integrating money management and entrepreneurial training into a microcredit program in India.

Fostering savings by commitment: Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment at The Small Enterprise Foundation in South Africa
We studied the effects of a pilot project that strengthened savings incentive mechanisms. The project was established by The Small Enterprise Foundation (SEF), a leading microfinance institution based in South Africa. The program introduced a savings stimulus in the form of a Goal Card: clients subscribing to this (non-coercive) tool were required to identify a savings goal and to commit to regular payments to reach it. The experiment had a quasi…

The adoption of the logical framework in international development projects: A survey of non-governmental organizations
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a fundamental role in International Development but their projects often lack efficiency and effectiveness. A key aspect is the proper use of project management tools and methodologies. The Logical Framework (LF) has been suggested as a key tool in this sector. However, the extent and impact of its use by NGOs is still not known. Based on almost 500 questionnaires collected from project managers working …
More efficient project execution and evaluation with logical framework and project cycle management: Evidence from international development projects
The importance of international development projects in the field of international aid is growing. Given the characteristics of these projects, some specific methodologies have been developed, such as project cycle management (PCM) and the logical framework (LF) to efficiently carry out social impact assessment and project execution. However, few studies have analyzed the diffusion of these methodologies, especially in the context of non-governme…
Determinants of loan repayment performance among borrowers of microfinance institutions: Evidence from India
Living Lab: A Methodology between User‐Centred Design and Participatory Design
Living Labs have received limited attention in the literature despite their diffusion throughout E urope and recent interest from policy makers. This limited attention is linked to the newness of the phenomenon, the high heterogeneity of cases and the consequent lack of definitions and acknowledged frameworks for scholarly analyses. In this work, we argue that the originality of the L iving L ab phenomenon resides in the introduction of a new met…
International development projects by non-governmental organizations: An evaluation of the need for specific project management and appraisal tools
International development (ID) projects are pivotal in the field of international aid, but their actual impact is difficult to assess and often questioned. Focusing on non-governmental organizations (NGOs), in this paper we analyse two aspects related to the impact of ID projects. The first concerns the characteristics of ID projects. We reviewed the literature to define the distinctive features of these projects. Second, we analyse the state of …
