Colleagues,
The founding members of the Microfinance CEO Working Group, which includes the CEOs of pioneering microfinance organizations ACCION, FINCA, Freedom from Hunger, Grameen Foundation USA, Opportunity International, Pro Mujer, VisionFund International, and Women's World Banking, have just released the "Road Map for the Microfinance Industry: Focusing on Responsible and Client-Centered Microfinance."
This document outlines the Working Group members' vision for the positive evolution of the microfinance field and underscores their commitment to raising industry standards, starting with their own. Central to this vision is the Working Group's support for three ambitious initiatives that are helping to lay the groundwork for a more responsible, client-focused and transformative industry: the Smart Campaign, MicroFinance Transparency and the Social Performance Task Force's universal standards for social performance management.
The Microfinance CEO Working Group members call on their valued peers in the microfinance industry to take action by endorsing these three initiatives, transforming their principles into action, and striving for better ways to provide financial services for the poor.
The full text of the letter can be read here.
The Working Group welcomes your comments and feedback. Please contact Meghan Greene, manager of the Microfinance CEO Working Group, at mgreene@accion.org.
Regards,
Bruce
