ABSTRACT
It is within this context that this chapter examines the effects of credit options on human resource development and the sustainability of the 'Association of Creative Teaching - Women in Development' (ACT-W1D) Project in Cameroon. To carry out this assessment it is necessary to examine literature on the links between credit options, human resource development and the sustainability of projects, particularly projects for poor women. Besides interviewing respondents, the following data collection methods were also employed: informal discussions and field visits to sites of business or funded projects. A core group of six women in each of the six Divisions constituted the Divisional ACT-WID team. The documents on ACT-WID indicated that the preoccupation of the project was to provide training and not funding for project activities. While ACT-WID was not a funding project, it was expected at least to provide credit support for activities resulting from the training it offered.
