Abstract
Through facilitating entrepreneurship, microfinance has become popular as sustainable alternative for development aid. Despite the numerous microfinance project evaluations, knowledge of the effects on non-participating community members is limited. This thesis explores the spillover effects of microfinance projects on the community level. To do this, a Tanzanian project for smallholder farmers is analysed. Panel survey data and qualitative interviews show that the project generates some small spillovers, especially through sharing of knowledge and by increasing community involvement and labour hiring.
