Microfinance Practice: Re: [MFP] Islami Microfinance Working Group Formed in Pakistan

Greetings group;

Can those of you in a MFI indicate whether pay incentives for loan officers are the norm in your country/city and what types of incentives are provided? And, have these changed at all over the years?

Also, I am collecting client loan agreements from MFIs to compare to a collection from several years back and would appreciate it if you could send any standard form contracts that you have access to. And, if the contract language is other than English, French or Spanish--if you'd be so kind as to translate it for me into one of those languages.

Thanks in advance for your consideration and help.

best,

Jami
