SHORT TITLE.  \nThis Act may be cited as the ‘‘Microenterprise Results and Accountability Act of 2004’’.  \nSEC. 2. FINDINGSAND POLICY.  \nCongress finds and declares the following:  \n(1) Congress has demonstrated its support for microenterprise development assistance programs through the enactment of two comprehensive microenterprise laws:  \n(A) The Microenterprise for Self-Reliance Act of 2000 (title I of Public Law 106–309; 114 Stat. 1082) .  \n(B) Public Law 108–31 (an Act entitled ‘‘An Act to amend the Microenterprise for Self-Reliance Act of 2000 and the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to increase assistance for the poorest people in developing countries under microenterprise assistance program under those Acts, and for other purposes’’, approved June 17, 2003) .  \n(2) The report on the effectiveness of the United States Agency for International Development’s microfinance program, prepared by the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor, rated the Agency in the top tier of the 17 donors in this field.  \n(3) The Comptroller General, in a report dated November 2003, found that the United States Agency for International Development has met some, but not all, of the key objectives of such microenterprise development assistance programs.  \n(4) The Comptroller General’s report found, among other things, the following:  \n(A) Microenterprise development assistance generally can help alleviate some impacts of poverty, improve income levels and quality of life for borrowers and provide poor individuals, workers, and their families with an important coping mechanism.  \n(B) Microenterprise development assistance programs of the United States Agency for International Development have encouraged women’s participation in microfinance projects and, according to data of the Agency, women have comprised two-thirds or more of the micro-loan clients in Agency-funded microenterprise projects since 1997.  \nPUBLIC LAW 108–484—DEC. 23, 2004 118 STAT. 3923  \n(5)(A) The Comptroller General’s report recommends that the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development review the Agency’s ‘‘microenterprise results reporting’’ system with the goal of ensuring that its annual reporting is complete and accurate.  \n(B) Specifically, the Administrator should review andreconsider the methodologies used for the collection, analysis, and reporting of data on annual spending targets, outreach to the very poor, sustainability of microfinance institutions, and the contribution of Agency’s funding to the institutions it supports.  \nSEC. 3. MICROENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE.  \nChapter 2 of part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2166 et seq.) is amended by inserting after title V the following new title:  \n‘‘TITLE VI—MICROENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE  \n‘‘SEC. 251. FINDINGSAND POLICY.  \n‘‘Congress finds and declares the following:  \n‘‘(1) Access to financial services and the development of microenterprise are vital factors in the stable growth of developing countries and in the development of free, open, and equitable international economic systems.  \n‘‘(2) It is therefore in the best interest of the United States to facilitate access to financial services and assist the development of microenterprise in developing countries.  \n‘‘(3) Access to financial services and the development of microenterprises can be supported by programs","cbCaioodvgCplcoj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioodvgCplcoj","pdf",180134,"English","# Microenterprise Results and Accountability Act of 2004\n## Short Title\n## Findings and Policy\n## Microenterprise Development Assistance","[{\"question\":\"What does the Microenterprise Results and Accountability Act of 2004 do?\",\"answer\":\"It amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to improve results and accountability for microenterprise development assistance programs, including how annual reporting and data are handled.\"},{\"question\":\"What types of assistance does the Act authorize?\",\"answer\":\"It authorizes non-reimbursable assistance to increase access to credit, savings, training, technical assistance, and business development services for microfinance and microenterprise clients lacking full access to capital.\"},{\"question\":\"Who does the Act emphasize supporting?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes assistance for the very poor, vulnerable women, and other disenfranchised groups, including populations targeted due to race or ethnicity, in both rural and urban areas.\"}]","Microenterprise Results and Accountability Act of 2004 | PDF",28]
