Abstract

In the last decades, the microfinance sector has globally grown. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) were created to fight and reduce poverty; however, many MFIs seem to no longer achieve their social missions because they act as conventional financial institutions. This slows down the financial support that most low-income families need in order to improve their quality of life. This paper presents a methodological proposal to measures social performance in MFIs. Thus, MFIs and other institutions with a social mission may benefit from an efficient tool used for a transparent and actual control of their social performance
