Portuguese term
microcrédito produtivo e orientado
Portuguese to English
Bus/Financial
Finance (general)
Microcredit incentives
O microcrédito produtivo e orientado brasileiro é um caso à parte, pois é distinto dos demais países; há poucas organizações que estão explorando essa oportunidade
There are plenty of references to this concept on the internet, Banco do Brasil website, etc. etc.
http://www.brasil.gov.br/economia-e-emprego/2012/07/empreend...
Even some in English referring to microcredit initiatives. But my query is specifically regarding these three terms together. Does the "orientado" imply government-funded? Is "produtivo" literally, "productive", i.e. rather than say, "retail" entrepreneurship?
Would "government-funded micro-credit for production" be a reasonable way around this?

production and specific-purpose microloans
I believe this is indeed meant to small business, as you mentioned. I think "oriented" here means there is a list of specific types of businesses that are entitled to this kind of loan, therefore "specific-purpose".

microcredit for production with advice/guidance
Acho que a chave está nesta frase no link fornecido:
"O empreendedor poderá ainda receber orientação da própria instituição financeira sobre como usar e controlar os recursos."

targeted microlending
Sounds like it was calqued on 'targeted lending'.
e.g.
The Chicago City Council passed an ordinance on January 18th that will form the Chicago Microlending Institute (CMI), a first-in-the-nation institute that will train new lenders to make targeted loans to the City's smallest businesses. The CMI will administer the Small Business Loan Fund, a $1 million pool of loan capital that is aimed at supporting the smallest businesses in Chicago with targeted microlending.

Note from asker:
| Hmmm, that first sentence in the last paragraph of the MDS link certainly suggests something like microcredit for targeted production - MTP (so I still get my acronym!). Think I'll check with the client before deciding whether to go with the emphasis on "targeted" or "guided", as per Martin. Thanks. |

I did a search using guided entrepreneurial micro-credit and BINGO, found the BB site in English, which somehow hadn't seen before. It works better for me as it gives me an acronym I can use elsewhere in the document, which none of the answers did. Thanks everyone for your help.
