Communication Dynamics of Women in Microfinance Projects as a Model for Women Empowerment: Microfinance Projects for Poverty Alleviation in the Philippines
Abstract
This chapter discusses the communication dynamics of women involved in microfinance projects that contribute to the success or failure of the projects in three cases. Specifically, the study (1) identifies the factors that lead to the success or failure of these projects, (2) identifies the MED (micro-enterprise development) lending methodology used in each case by presenting the key characteristics of the three cases, and (3) presents the communication dynamics of women involved in microfinance projects in the context of culture as a model for women empowerment. Using the paradigm model of the grounded theory approach to social science research, the study shows the relationship between and among different variables, namely: origin, development initiative, situation, intervening variables, intervention strategies, and outcomes. The communication dynamics model for women empowerment presented shows how the factors of success and failure lead to empowerment or no empowerment. There is also no empowerment when conditions are oppressive or too lenient.
