Education Video on Measuring and Managing Impact

Measuring performance and impact is key to implement, manage and fund social enterprises or microfinance institutions. It also allows to mobilize and align finance to the SDGs, and to include positive and negative impact considerations into investment and business decisions. In 2020, CERISE worked with students from Sciences Po Paris, as part of a working group on Measuring and Managing Impact, in partnership with the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation. The students produced a short educational and dynamic video to explain the concepts of impact and the existing approaches, to help navigating the world of results measurement.

Doing Good and Avoiding Harm

Research on Correlations between Social Performance Management Practices and Customer Outcomes in Inclusive Finance.

Cerise+SPTF’s latest research dives into how Social Performance Management (SPM) practices impact customer outcomes in inclusive finance. Led by Amelia Greenberg from Cerise+SPTF and Alasdair Lindsay-Walters from MFR, the study highlights that strong SPM practices—such as transparent communication and manageable loan sizes are correlated with positive customer outcomes. Contrarily, high annual percentage rates (APRs) and weak customer protection are correlated with linked to poorer outcomes. This research underscores the importance of adopting robust SPM practices to promote customer benefit while protecting them from harm.
