| This paper presents four case studies: Equity Bank, Banco Compartamos, BASIX, and Share Microfinance Limited. Each case study provides insights into the way some leading MFIs manage their double bottom lines. The paper concludes that maximizing market-led social performance is both desirable and possible and that donors, sector stake-holders, and MFIs have many tools at their disposal — some simple and easy to implement, others more complex — to ensure stakeholders expectations of MFIs’ social performance remain high. This report is part of USAID’s Accelerated Microenterprise Advancement Program (AMAP) Knowledge Generation Transitions to Private Capital research. |
