A case study of ADEMI

The Association for the Development of Microenterprises, Inc (ADEMI) was selected as a case study because of its exceptional success in providing financial services to micro- and small-scale enterprises in the Dominican Republic
ADEMI was conceived by those interested in strengthening the economic democracy of the country and who decided to address the problem of unemployment and underemployment via the formation of an organisation which sought to incorporate marginalised groups into the economic life of the nation
This study provides a comprehensive overview of the context in which ADEMI operates, the methodology and performance of the Association, and future prospects for ADEMI as it stands on the threshold of becoming a formal financial institution.
