"Institution of Microfinance and Improvement of the Socio-Economic Situation of the Population of GOMA. Case of the Promotion and Support of Economic Development Initiatives in Kivu (PAIDEK) from 2017 to 2021"

Abstract

This study focuses on socio-economic life in the city of Goma. Improving the survival conditions of our populations requires improving working conditions and the availability of financial resources within households. To carry out this research, we used descriptive, analytical and statistical methods, in particular inductive; based on the results of the survey carried out among the beneficiaries of PAIDEK microcredits. Research techniques were used in this work: documentary, interview, survey questionnaire and survey. At the end of our investigations, the socio-economic conditions of the population benefiting from the credit have improved: food, access to health care, education, housing, small business. This confirms our hypotheses. Ultimately, micro-credit institutions are a lever for the local economy to boost the social well-being of our populations.
