  35. Implementation of a Disaster Mitigation Programme (DMP)? • The DMP is designed to acquire non financial information about clients to determine how susceptible they are to various hazards especially hurricanes, landslides, flooding and earthquakes. • Information on clients’ locations and building structure are collected to determine their vulnerability to these hazards.

  36. Disaster Mitigation Programme Information collected is matched with our GPS waypoints on a map to give a graphical picture of our clients’ vulnerability.

  37. Implementation of the Smart Campaign • A three-year initiative being undertaken by a broad coalition of microfinance institutions and other entities around the globe to protect micro clients from potentially harmful financial products and to ensure that they are treated fairly. • It embodies six core Client Protection Principles setting the standard for all providers of micro finance worldwide.

  38. Six Core Principles

  39. Achievements (cont’d)

  40. Achievements (cont’d)

  41. CHALLENGES • Very little information about potential clients resulting in difficulty in assessing credit risk • Acts of God- hurricanes and flooding • Potential clients have no bankable collateral • No accounting records or documentation on income and expenses • No separation between business and household cash

  42. Challenges • Social Unrest • Collateral Issues- no bankable collateral and proof of ownership of appliances and furniture • Client selection and retention-building a culture of on time repayment • Financing portfolio growth – sourcing appropriate funding

  43. How we have adapted to the market • Full responsibility of the Field Officers for their portfolios • Field Officer gets an incentive which includes a bonus for the loans disbursed and the portfolio outstanding and is discounted for poor loan quality • Field Officers are audited regularly and bear consequences for infringements

  44. How we have adapted to the market • Developing a close relationship with the clients by creating constant access to financial services. • Graduation principle – client is rewarded if they show good repayment behaviour-bigger loans and better conditions • Analysis of Debt Capacity which takes into account business and family expenses

  45. How we have adapted to the market • Analysis of clients’ character by obtaining verbal and written references. • The terms of a loan depend firstly on the financial and risk analysis and secondly on collateral • Purposes of collateral are to induce the client to repay and to cover losses of the organization

  46. How we have adapted to the market • Clients need to fear that they will lose something valuable (psychological pressure). • Repayments are monitored daily • Enforcement measures are strict and fast as possible • Bad repayment disqualifies a client from further loans

  47. How we have adapted to the market • Good repayment qualifies clients for bigger loans and better terms • Approval and disbursement of loans are approved by a Credit Committee that guarantees compliance with procedures, transparency and high quality decisions

  48. How we have adapted to the market • Acts of God – provide disaster recovery loans, provided grants to those worst affected, rescheduled loans for those with adequate repayment capacity, and write off of loans where clients have lost both business and home

  49. Strategic Initiatives 2012 • Roll out of the new loan underwriting methodology • Partner with the Jamaica Business Development Corporation to support the craft industry • Implement mobile finance in conjunction with JNBS and JN Foundation

  50. Strategic Initiatives 2012 • Develop and implement a new loan underwriting application • Continue the growth of the micro credit portfolio by increasing the number of Field Officers and locations • Continue the growth of our branch network
