Strengthening Governance for Responsible Finance: Examples from European Investment Funds

Brief No. 2 from the e-MFP Brief Series explores examples of the increasing role microfinance investment funds (MIVs) are playing to improve governance, both across the sector through investor coordination, and at the MFI level through operational tools. The Brief focuses on the microfinance sector's renewed commitment to the double bottom line. MIVs are collecting more social performance data than ever before. This enthusiasm, however, does not reduce the risks that MFIs face. Strong governance would help decrease such risks. MIVs play an important role in governance. They carry considerable weight at the sector level, channeling USD eight billion in investments to MFIs worldwide. They have the potential to influence strategy and operations at the MFI-level. Examples in the Brief include: GCAMF and Triple Jump conducted joint due diligence and proposed a syndicated loan to MFI MBK Ventura in Indonesia; ADA and PlaNIS-responsAbility conducted joint due diligence of ProMujer in Argentina; ResponAbility, Triodos, and the Council of Microfinance Equity Funds are co-financing a research team to explore over-indebtedness;

In the last two years, practices have become more systematic and refined, as social performance assessments of MFIs have become commonplace. The time has come to see how far we've come to “Making Microfinance Investment Responsible”. What are investors doing to systematize social performance management at the MFI level, and what are they doing to improve their own practices as responsible investors?
