The accessibility of microcredits to returned migrants was examined in five target countries: the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mongolia, Nigeria, Senegal and Sri Lanka. In the first step, the situations of the national microcredit markets were analysed, considering that the general availability of microcredits and their accessibility influence returnees’ chances to be part of a microcredit scheme.
