FINCA Experience with Outcomes Management as presented to Outcomes Working Group

Summary of an Oct 2016 Outcomes Working Group session in which FINCA shared its approach to generating credible data that is useful for decision-making on a limited budget. FINCA includes outcomes data in its quarterly MFI mission monitoring dashboard, which includes
targets and achievements for depth of outreach (including female managed enterprises) as well as
predicted outcomes on key business indicators. FINCA uses a predictive model based on a small number
of selected indicators and enterprise segmentation and a small sample of clients quarterly to track quarterly in between larger data collection efforts every 3-5 years.

Guidelines

Guidelines on Outcomes Management for Investors

These guidelines for integrating outcomes measurement, analysis, and reporting into the operations of microfinance investors, asset managers, and other funders (hereinafter "guidelines") are the result of the work of the e-MFP Social Performance Outcomes Action Group, a collaborative effort of a group of responsible investors and other stakeholders that was created as a result of a partnership between the Social Performance Task Force (SPTF) and the European Microfinance Platform (e-MFP). The work on the guidelines has been coordinated by the SPTF Outcomes Working Group in parallel with the development of three resources for financial service providers (FSPs): 1) a "making the case" brief that describes how outcomes data are useful and even essential to an FSP's financial and social performance; 2) "how-to" guidelines for FSPs that describe ten steps for implementing strong outcomes management; and 3) a harmonized menu of key outcome indicators.

The benchmark figure itself is the mean
or average. These benchmarks are at the heart of this report and they give the clearest picture of what social outcomes are, and are not, being achieved by MFIs.

Caso de estudio IDEPRO: un sistema integral de evaluaci贸n de impacto

Este caso detalla el camino de IDEPRO Desarrollo Empresarial (Bolivia) para desarrollar un sistema de evaluaci贸n de resultados e impacto. La experiencia de IDEPRO demuestra dos puntos cr铆ticos y relacionados. En primer lugar, la medici贸n real de los resultados es esencial para determinar si una organizaci贸n est谩 logrando su misi贸n social. En segundo lugar, el uso estrat茅gico de los datos de resultados puede ayudar a una organizaci贸n a avanzar en esa misi贸n, al generar informaci贸n valiosa en 谩reas como la gesti贸n de riesgos, la retenci贸n de clientes y el dise帽o de productos. En 煤ltima instancia, los buenos datos no solo miden los resultados, sino que ayudan a darles forma. La implementaci贸n de un sistema de monitoreo de resultados es una inversi贸n cuyos beneficios, tanto para los clientes como para la instituci贸n, superan significativamente los costos.
