Total Credit For Agriculture and Rural Development (TOTALCARD): The project is a sustainable development cluster interventions program addressing financial constraints faced by socio-economic networks. It is a radical financial intermediation program that seeks to reconcile the banking institutions with the poor by working to assist the banks to streamline its operations so as to be poverty friendly. The uniqueness of the program is that it builds on already existing indigenous knowledge and patterns of community driven credit system thus making it culture friendly with great positive implications for success.TOTALCARD project emerged from the womb of the Niger Delta Trust Fund (NDTF) created by the development finance office of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) with the sole aim of working in partnership with stakeholders in the Oil & Gas industry and the banking sub sector to remove credit related constraints faced by micro entrepreneurs in the Niger Delta. http://www.comminit.com/pdf/something_must_kill_man.pdf
