August 2011: MiX and Imp-Act launch new SPM State of Practice report
These periodic reports set out the state of practice and flag future challenges for effective SPM for practitioners, donors and networks.
This report, which is a collaboration between the Microfinance Information Exchange (MIX) and the Imp-Act Consortium, assesses the various aspects of social performance management as reported to the MIX by 405 microfinance institutions from 73 countries in 2009 and 2010. It provides a framework for analyzing the current state of social performance practice across regions, based on the social performance indicators selected by the Social Performance Task Force (SPTF), and highlights current challenges in data collection and reporting.
Beyond the data collected by MIX, this report draws on two additional sources of information: an SPM learning program conducted by the Imp-Act Consortium and a survey of rating agencies, technical assistance providers and microfinance networks.
