Si le taux de bancarisation progresse sur le continent africain, près de 60% de la population n'a pas de compte bancaire. Une situation qui freine notamment l'entreprenariat. Sans accès au financement, difficile de lancer son activité ou de la développer. Face à ce constat, le microcrédit s'est imposé comme une réponse concrète aux défis de l'inclusion financière. L'accès à des petits prêts permet aux bénéficiaires d'obtenir des ressources, mais aussi de gagner en indépendance, en confiance et en pouvoir de décision vis-à-vis de leur famille et de la communauté. S'il existe des solutions de microcrédit social, sans contrepartie, les taux élevés, pratiqués parfois par les organismes de microfinance, sont aussi pointés du doigt. Quelles sont les limites de la microfinance ? Permet-elle de passer à l'échelle pour les entrepreneurs et entrepreneuses et de s'insérer dans le système bancaire traditionnel ? Quelles sont les innovations qui pourraient permettre d'élargir son spectre ?   Avec :  • Marie Ateba-Forget, responsable du pôle microfinance sociale d'Entrepreneurs du Monde, association qui accompagne l'insertion sociale et économique de personnes en situation de grande précarité en Afrique, en Asie, en Haïti et en France. Un reportage de Raphaëlle Constant à Conakry en Guinée :  Depuis 2016, l'institution de microfinance sociale Wakili incubée par l'ONG Entrepreneurs du monde, a développé un programme de terrain pour accompagner les personnes vulnérables dans le développement de leurs activités économiques. C'est aujourd'hui la seule institution à proposer de la microfinance sociale dans le pays aux personnes exclues du système bancaire classique. Depuis sa création, Wakili a accompagné plus de 19 000 micro-entrepreneurs dans toute la Guinée, dont 78% de femmes. Notre reporter a rencontré Alex Kadjomou, chargé de développement de Wakili Guinée et Mabinty Thiam, 38 ans et 5 enfants, bénéficiaire du programme dans le quartier de Cobayah. En fin d'émission, la chronique IA débat, de Thibault Matha, un nouveau rendez-vous bimensuel chez 8 milliards de voisins.  Alors que l'intelligence artificielle devient omniprésente dans notre quotidien et que son utilisation se démocratise, Thibault Matha interrogera les outils, et analysera la pertinence de leurs réponses.
