The Sub-Saharan Africa Microfinance Analysis and Benchmarking Report 2010 presents the latest regional trends and recent developments throughout the region based on a sample of 181 MFIs and spanning 41 countries. The report begins with an overview of the market with an examination of supply side issues, the policy environment, and cross-border funding flows. It then focuses on retail financial service providers, exploring growth trends, financial performance, and funding structure. In addition, for the first time in this series of reports, there is information on social performance indicators, which highlights the practice of translating an MFIs’ mission into measurable outcomes and setting policies and procedures to manage social performance.
