Vision
The Gender Working Group is charged with promoting to the industry the importance and value of gender as a critical component of social performance management, and for ensuring that gender-based performance continues to remain a priority for the SPTF.
Objectives
Identify, aggregate and disseminate relevant and practical gender-based resources, tools, and best practice methodologies (e.g., gender/social audit tools, social investment funds with a gender angle) that will help MFIs, investors, and donors to systematically improve and demonstrate the value (financial and social) of focusing on women.
Advocate for the expansion of the existing set of gender performance indicators used by the industry.
Highlight successful non-profit and for-profit financial institutions that are effectively serving the women’s market.
Collaboration
The Gender Working Group will work closely with and learn from recent work on gender empowerment, including materials from Linda Mayoux, Naila Kabeer, and Namrata. It will also work closely with the MIX and the Social Indicators Subcommittee to develop a reporting system with different levels/depths of information on gender.

SP Indicators Blog
The Social Performance Indicators Blog aims to serve as a platform for learning and exchange on topics related to social performance in microfinance. Each week we will address a different subject related to social performance measurement by interviewing relevant stakeholders, with the purpose of gaining a deeper understanding of how to assess the social performance of microfinance institutions (MFIs) and contributing to the need for information and greater transparency within the industry. www.spblog.org
