Abstract

The objective of our paper is to analyze the effects of Microfinance access to women empowerment. The work aims to measure the contribution of Microfinance on women entrepreneurship in the Diamare Division of the Far North Region in Cameroon. To achieve these results, we used data collected from the population established data from Ecam 4. Using the stata 14 to captured the induced effects of this instrument , we used the binary logistic regression model to determine female access to Microfinance. on the results, we recommend that the state through different political, can put in place different instruments to encourage financial services by providing a regulatory system assistance with paying salaries and utility bills. Microfinance is a way forward for women empowerment in Cameroon and particular the Far North region, considered as an economically depressed region by the Cameroonian state. But to achieve this, the government should create an enabling environment in which banks are free to pursue the innovations necessary to reach low-income consumers while realizing profits.
