Financial capital (FC) can transform self-image, unlock potential and boost the productivity and well-being of the poor. This paper assesses the access to FC by rural people in the Upper East Region (UER) of Ghana. The study results showed that Rural Banks (RBs) are the main source of FC to rural people in UER with only 21% of them having access to FC from the RBs in pursuance of their livelihoods developments. It is recommended that the RBs and government among others should take pragmatic measures towards covering more rural people who constitute 84% of the population of UER.

Abstract

Financial capital (FC) can transform self-image, unlock potential and boost the productivity and well-being of the poor. This paper assesses the access to FC by rural people in the Upper East Region (UER) of Ghana. The study results showed that Rural Banks (RBs) are the main source of FC to rural people in UER with only 21% of them having access to FC from the RBs in pursuance of their livelihoods developments. It is recommended that the RBs and government among others should take pragmatic measures towards covering more rural people who constitute 84% of the population of UER.

SAVINGS AND DEVELOPMENT
Le capital financier (CF) peut transformer l’image de soi, libérer le potentiel et améliorer la productivité et le bien-être des pauvres. Cette étude évalue l’accès aux CF par les populations rurales dans l’Upper East Region (UER) du Ghana. Les résultats de l’étude ont montré que les banques rurales (RB) sont la principale source de FC pour les populations rurales en UER et seulement 21% d’entre elles ont accès au FC des RBs dans le cadre de leur évolution des moyens de subsistance. Il est recommandé que les RB et le gouvernement parmi d’autres prennent des mesures pragmatiques en vue de couvrir davantage de populations des zone rurales qui constituent 84% de la population de l’UER.
