SearchMeasuring Social Performance
Social performance is a measure of how effectively we translate our social goals into practice. And, by all measurements, Oikocredit’s performance is right on target.
A database of information provided by our project partners around the world contains detailed records of the microfinance institutions (MFIs) we’ve worked with over the years. The statistics we can extract demonstrate how our most important social goals are being met.
Goal: To assist smaller MFIs that others might overlook or find too risky.
Measurement: More than 2/3 of our project partners are classified as “small” or “medium” MFIs. Large, well-established MFIs represent a significant minority, especially in Africa and Asia.
Goal: To reach the poor in rural areas where fewer opportunities exist .
Measurement: Overall, about 1/3 of the project partners we work with focus exclusively on rural areas. In Asia, this figure rises to more than 50%. Less than 12% operate exclusively in urban areas.
Goal: To alleviate poverty by reaching out to as many clients as possible.
Measurement: Collectively, our microfinance partners have reached 29.3 million clients.
