  1. FAO RAF Presentation to AFRACA Microfinance Forum, Kampala, Uganda: The Computerization Experience of the PIYELI MFI in Mali Presented by: Chet Aeschliman Rural Finance & Marketing Officer FAO Regional Office for Africa, Accra 7th June 2005

  2. Who is PIYELI? • Originally organized in late 1995 as a Grameen Bank solidarity group lending focussed on urban women in Mali’s capital Bamako, started with USAID funding by World Education, which also initiated K-REP in Kenya. • Piyeli started using the FAO MicroBanker System for DOS with integrated client ledgers, general ledger and canned management report from the first day. • Because the MB system permitted effective management, the clientele expanded rapidly, as shown in the following table.

  4. Some Lessons Learned from PIYELI: • Computerization permitted tight control of portfolio and rapid outreach growth, and a growing variety of products which could not be effectively managed with manual records. • Computerization, always up-to-date with full banking software facilitated good management and governance • Computerization permitted pilot testing of new products in selected limited test markets before general roll-out. • Computerization facilitated the set-up of new branches and the move to rural areas.
