越来越多的非政府组织正在采用无担保信贷方案，将其与旨在提高方案有效性和可持续性的社会发展方案结合起来。通过对孟加拉国农村五个小型非政府组织覆盖的3,564个目标贫困户的样本研究，本研究发现，非政府组织信贷成员以及居住在非政府组织项目地区的人比居住在非项目地区的人更容易接受儿童免疫接种。同样，研究发现，非政府组织信贷成员的婴儿和儿童死亡率低于非成员，五岁以下儿童死亡率随着疫苗剂量的增加而逐渐下降。本研究讨论了这些发现的意义。
A growing number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are adopting the collateral-free credit programs by anchoring them with their social development programs aimed at improved program effectiveness and sustainability. Drawing upon a sample of 3,564 targeted poor households covered by five small NGOs in rural Bangladesh, this study finds that the NGO credit-members as well as those who reside in the NGO program area are higher adopters of child immunization than those in the non-program area. Similarly the study found that infant and child mortality is lower among the NGO credit members than among the non-members and that under five-year deaths of children progressively decline with the increase in the doses of vaccines. Implications of these findings are discussed in the study.
