Ramnagaram Financial Diaries

Financial Diaries for the poor is a methodology, which chronicles the money management practices of the poor over a period of time. A record of the financial transactions of the household (income, expenditure, saving, borrowing and investment) is complied by periodic interviews with a sample of households. Our goal is to document patterns and payment structures of urban poor households that are heavily dependent on MFIs.

Financial Diaries as an instrument for study of the financial practices of the poor and very poor was first carried out in Bangladesh by Stuart Rutherford and in India by Orlanda Ruthven, as a part of the Institute of Development Policy and Research’s study on ‘Finance for the Poor and Poorest’; this has been extended by Daryl Collins in South Africa.
