SmartAid Self-Assessment
March 4, 2010
SmartAid is based on key principles of effectiveness which are relevant for most organizations supporting microfinance. It is made up of nine indicators which serve as a framework to analyze a funder’s overall capacity and internal systems to support the sector.
Funders interested in analyzing how well they are set up to support microfinance can use the SmartAid methodology to conduct a Self-Assessment.
The SmartAid Self-Assessment can be help funders:
- Understand where their institution is strong and where it needs improvement with regard to funding microfinance projects effectively.
- Lead an internal discussion about what it takes to be an effective funder in microfinance.
- Prepare for full participation in the SmartAid Index by getting a good understanding of the indicators and what the SmartAid review board is looking for when assigning the scores.
The Self-Assessment methodology can be adapted to different kinds of organizations. If you are interested in conducting a SmartAid Self-Assessment, please contact us.
