Abstract
This paper addresses the emergence of microfinance programmes in international development as a preferred strategy for poverty alleviation and empowering women. Drawing on ethnographic research in the Philippine Cordillera, it argues that microfinance projects have embedded social change objectives in initiatives driven by market-led forces thereby failing to realize social justice for women. To effect a more normative agenda for development, this paper suggests integrating women's perspectives and initiatives other than credit.
