Effects Measurement at Country Level: Experiences and Challenges at FMO
FMO: Effects Measurement at Country Level • Until 2009, FMO was organized by region • Within regions, focus countries were targeted • For focus countries: business/market plans drawn up • Country network supported (limited) ‘convergence’ / synergies at country level. • Since 2009 sector-based organization: • Financial services / indirect MSME finance • Agriculture and food • Power/energy • Housing
FMO: Effects Measurement at Country Level • Sector-based has much helped expertise, deepening of sector focus, improved integration of ESG, but: • Less coordination at region/country level • How to add up: • Access to finance for X MSMEs in country A • Electricity provided to Y households in country A • Increased yields for Z farmers in country A ?
FMO: Effects Measurement at Country Level • Country level measurement not that relevant for FMO generally, but interesting and informative in sector clusters: • All leading MFIs in Cambodia as clients: • Effort to enhance responsible lending (CPPs and E&S) • Effort to broaden financial services by enabling deposit taking • Working with MFI clients on renewable energy (bio-digesters) • Banks in Nigeria; • Effect of working with clients and Central Bank on E&S • Renewable energy client clusters in Central America • Links with other PSD programs, effects aggregation meaningful? • Aggregating with / benchmarking against other DFIs more meaningful?
