This paper explores the link between social cohesion and firms' access to finance in Africa, using a dataset from the Afrobarometer survey and World Bank Enterprise Surveys. It finds that trust positively correlates with financial access, while all three pillars of social cohesion enhance access to credit and loans, suggesting that improving social cohesion can boost economic development.
