It would be a very productive advance towards achieving the objectives of Social Performance.

Dear all,

One of the ideas that came out of the 'next steps in SPM' process is the need to ensure that capacity building in microfinance in general includes a social performance perspective. There is a huge amount of capacity building taking place, but most does not take account of the social goals of the MFI and the implications of these for the MFI's design and systems. At best this is a missed opportunity for 'balanced performance management' at worst it has potentially negative impacts on social performance.

The Imp-Act Consortium has secured funds to develop a project to address this issue and we will be seeking a range of collaborators to help take this forward.

I am posting below a draft of a 'call for collaborators', which i will start sending out on Monday 20th. In the mean-time i'd be grateful for the following input from you:

- feedback on the content of the document
- suggestions of organisations/individuals to send the call for collaborators to (management consultants, networks, training organisations etc)
- expressions of interest if you would like to be involved in this project

Look forward to hearing from you,

Anton
