SPM – what is it in practise?

Strategic decision

Which MFI took more socially oriented decision?

Former NGO, Central Asia

Working in urban areas, individual loans.

Growing competition

Decision: group loans in rural areas.

Within 1 year:

• The portfolio doubled

• #clients increased by 70%

• The average loan size decreased

NBFI, Central Europe Goal: expand access to clients (micro entrepreneurs) Limited access to funding Decision: banking license.

Result:

• more clients

• lower income clients rejected, due to banking regulations

How to translate mission into governance?

Governance – key SP issues

• Monitored strategy to include social goals

• Members’ background drives their focus: balance of experience and interests

• Mission commitment stimulated by education

• Reporting to include social performance

Which are the best practices in SP reporting

to the Board?

• Every new Board member receives 1h presentation of mission and social aspirations of the MFI, delivered by Marketing Manager.

• The Board meets every quarter; the following SP indicators are reviewed:  # rural clients; % of new rural clients;

 # female clients; % of new female clients

 Exit rate by groups of clients

• Internal audit report on compliance with client protection policies
