Microfinance programmes have been implemented in various African contexts to promote financial independence among marginalized populations. This study focuses on Senegalese households in Equatorial Guinea, examining how microfinance initiatives contribute to their economic empowerment. This study employs both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Qualitative data are collected through interviews with participants and focus groups to capture detailed narratives about their microfinance experience. Quantitative data are gathered via surveys designed to measure financial outcomes and satisfaction levels among the sample population. The analysis reveals that approximately 60% of respondents experienced improved financial stability, with significant reductions in debt levels observed over a year following programme enrollment. Participants highlighted challenges such as interest rate fluctuations and bureaucratic hurdles affecting their financial progress. Microfinance programmes have shown promise in fostering financial independence among Senegalese households in Equatorial Guinea; however, ongoing support and policy adjustments are required to mitigate identified issues. Policy makers should consider implementing more transparent interest rates and streamlining bureaucratic procedures to enhance the efficacy of microfinance initiatives. Furthermore, community-based support networks could be established to provide additional assistance.
