Outreach and sustainability of Ethiopian MFIs
This study assesses the performance of Ethiopian MFIs in terms of various criteria set forth by the Micro banking Bulletin. Reaching the poorest customers, while at the same time being financially self-sufficient, is a challenge for the Ethiopian microfinance industry.
The study examines data from the MIX MARKET website for 16 Ethiopian MFIs. Study results indicate that Ethiopian MFIs performed well in terms of breadth of outreach, cost management, efficiency and productivity. They also charged low interest rates. They, however, are poor performers on depth of outreach. Findings indicate that these MFIs are:
Not reaching the poorest of the poor;
Allocating a lower proportion of their total assets to loans;
Not using their debt capacity properly;
Allocating more loan loss provision expense than the industry average, and have a high PAR.
The study also finds that MFI profitability and sustainability depend on its size. There is a trade-off between serving the poor and being operationally self-sufficient. Finally, MFI age correlates positively with efficiency, productivity. Use of debt financing also makes firms more productive.
This document summarizes a study on a microfinance program in rural Uganda called Bukonzo Joint Cooperative Microfinance Ltd (BJCMF) that provides integrated services of rural finance, value chain support, and gender capacity building. The program aims to promote women's empowerment and gender equality. It finds that the program is registering dramatic changes in gender equality, like increased women's control of resources and shared household responsibilities. However, to achieve community-wide women's empowerment and gender equality, more integrated efforts are needed in markets and institutions that reinforce gender inequality. The document provides details on the program approaches, services, products, and positive outcomes observed, within the cultural context of serious gender inequality in the study area.
The document discusses the challenges Ethiopian microfinance institutions face in mobilizing local savings. It finds that while MFIs have expanded branches, commercial banks still dominate deposits. Product development is often top-down without customer research, and marketing focuses on borrowers rather than potential net savers. Field research identified opportunities to design demand-based products and strengthen customer consultation, but most MFIs lack detailed marketing plans and materials to confidently promote savings. Addressing these challenges could help MFIs better mobilize the savings needed to fund local lending and achieve development goals.
This document summarizes a study on the impact of microfinance programs in Ethiopia's Amhara region. It provides background on poverty in Ethiopia and the government's strategy of promoting rural finance. It then describes the Amhara Credit and Savings Institution (ACSI), the largest microfinance institution operating in Amhara. While ACSI has expanded services reaching over 550,000 clients, the study aims to evaluate its impact using a conceptual framework that analyzes microenterprises as part of household economic portfolios. Both quantitative and qualitative research was conducted comparing over 1,600 clients and non-clients to understand the program's impact on areas like food security, health, education, and empowerment. Preliminary findings suggest positive

The document discusses partnerships between last mile firms (value chain actors and ag-focused technology companies) and financial institutions to increase access to finance for smallholder farmers. It provides examples of three partnerships:
1) Biopartenaire partners with Advans bank to provide savings products to cocoa farmers and outsource lending to reduce costs and risks.
2) Kifiya partners with multiple financial institutions and insurance companies to leverage its digital financial services platform and increase transaction volumes.
3) Prep-eez offers farmer data to multiple financial institutions to develop new products delivered through its platform, in order to increase farmer purchasing power.
This document reports on a study of working capital management practices among business enterprises in Jimma Town, Ethiopia. It finds that while the number of businesses has increased since 1991, they face difficulties like lack of capital, experience, and training in financial management. Effective working capital management is important for business operations but Ethiopian firms' practices are limited and based on experience rather than scientific techniques. The study assessed cash, accounts receivable, and inventory management practices, finding most firms do not use computers or standardized models. It recommends businesses hire qualified financial managers familiar with scientific techniques and computer applications to improve working capital management.
Batten aid information management in practise malawi experiencesicgfmconference
Malawi is heavily dependent on foreign aid, which accounts for 12% of its GDP and 40% of its budget. It has many donors and hundreds of active projects that are implemented through various government agencies and NGOs. Malawi created an Aid Information Management System (AIMS) to better track and manage aid flows. The AIMS collects data from donors on all aid projects in Malawi and allows the government to incorporate off-budget funds into sector planning and budget documents. This has improved public financial management by translating donor information into a common budget format. However, further improvements are still needed, such as obtaining multi-year donor forecasts and linking AIMS data directly to Malawi's financial management systems.

Digital Disruption in Wealth Management - FinanceConnect SingaporeLinkedIn Singapore
The document discusses digital disruption in the wealth management industry. Some key points:
- Wealth management firms face significant disruption from advances in technology, changing client behaviors and demands, and increasing regulation.
- HNW clients expect their future relationships with firms to be digital and 65% may leave firms lacking integrated digital channels. Younger clients have the highest digital demands.
- Firms have been slow to adopt digital solutions due to myths around clients not wanting digital tools and channels cannibalizing business. However, digital priorities will be essential to providing seamless client experiences.

The Indian asset management industry has seen significant growth in assets under management in recent years. However, profits have declined slightly as traditional managers face pressure on revenue margins from fee competition and shifts in product mix. While growth is expected to continue driven by rising household savings and financial inclusion initiatives, penetration remains low compared to other financial assets. Key opportunities for growth include expanding into smaller cities, developing new product categories like alternatives and passive investments, and leveraging digital technology. Continued support from government policies and regulators will also help drive the industry forward.
1) The document discusses wealth trends among high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) in the Asia-Pacific region. It finds that between 2006-2014, HNWI population and wealth in Asia-Pacific grew the fastest worldwide, at annual rates of 8.5% and 11.4% respectively.
2) A key trend is the expected wealth transfer of about 80% of Asia-Pacific wealth to the next generation over the next 15 years. This will require wealth management firms to provide support and training in holistic financial planning.
3) Availability of lending solutions and leveraging digital capabilities to improve customer experience will be important for wealth management firms to plan for the future in Asia-Pacific

This document summarizes a report on how financial technology (FinTech) can help address the lack of financing available to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It finds that while SMEs are major drivers of economic growth, they face a global "funding gap" of over $2 trillion. Traditional banks find lending to SMEs costly and risky. However, FinTech solutions tailored for SME needs, such as marketplace lending, merchant financing, and supply chain financing, show promise in filling this gap efficiently. The report examines the opportunities and risks of FinTech for SME financing, and notes that several factors like data availability, regulation, investment, and financial education will influence FinTech's potential to transform SME finance

The document discusses several global trends that will shape the future, including demographic growth, environmental changes, increasing urbanization, globalization, and digitization. These trends are driving fundamental changes in many industries, including animal health. Some of the key impacts highlighted are the growing global middle class, rising demand for protein, increased prevalence of zoonotic diseases, and more. The trends present both challenges and opportunities for the animal health industry to improve animal welfare and productivity through innovation.
MSMEs in India have been adversely affected by the lockdown announced as a measure to contain the spread of COVID-19. This report outlines the impact of the pandemic on MSMEs and offers policy recommendations to support their recovery.
MSMEs have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in India. There has been a sharp decline in income for most MSMEs due to a substantial fall in demand and disruption of supply chains. This has been further exacerbated by increasing costs and declining cash flows. While some enterprises have seen increased bulk purchases, overall customer footfall is down significantly. MSMEs are coping by utilizing savings to manage expenses in the short term, but uncertainty around recovery timelines has increased stress for many small businesses. Immediate government support is needed to boost incomes and reduce costs in order to prevent widespread business failures among MSMEs during this crisis.
The document summarizes responses from finance directors in the English NHS to a survey about financial challenges. Key points include:
- The NHS deficit for the first quarter of 2015/16 was unprecedented at £930 million. The majority of trusts and some CCGs are forecasting year-end deficits.
- The main drivers of deficits are underachievement of savings plans and increased agency costs for trusts, and higher acute and prescribing costs for CCGs.
- Finance directors think maintaining quality will be difficult in 2016/17 without more funding. Additional funding of £8 billion promised by the government is needed, especially if upfront.
- Options to reduce deficits include more government funding, providing fewer high quality services

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
