Bringing Back Balanced Performance Management to Microfinance
https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/516343526
Wednesday February 6 10 AM â€" 11 AM EST (-5 GMT)
The webinar will offer insights into the work of the CRS MISION project to reinstate the focus of microfinance institutions in Ethiopia and other parts of Africa from financially driven performance management to a more balanced performance management.
Often microfinance institutions include social objectives within their mission statements but fail to ensure their management systems actually address these social goals. Over the last few years, the industry and microfinance stakeholders have begun to recognize the occurrence of the “mission drift†and/or the gap in global performance management. Thus, an increasing number of MFIs and microfinance national associations across Africa have become more interested in learning about social performance management (SPM) practices in order to address these issues in a systematic manner.
This webinar will provide a brief overview of the social performance (SP) and social performance management (SPM) concept and tools. It will provide a good introduction to the full week “Balanced Performance Management for Microfinance Institutions†course we are offering at the SMDP Ghana (http://www.carseyinstitute.unh.edu/smdp/ghana)

The VSL Associates Excel-based MIS is the most widely used in the industry and has been through 4 generations of development. But based as it is on an Excel worksheet it has a number of practical limitations and in the last year VSL Associates, with support from the Gates Foundation and MasterCard Foundation, has developed a completely new internet-based MIS, embedded in the SAVIX website, using similar bandwidth as Hotmail.
