4

Why is MIS important to microfinance?

The MIS of an institution includes all the systems used for generating the information that guide management in its decisions and actions.

MIS can be seen as a map of the activities that are carried out by the microfinance institutions (MFI).

MIS monitors the operations and provides reports that reflect information which management considers the most significant to track.

All levels of the institutions, from top management and down, as well as funding organizations and regulators, rely on reports produced by the MIS to give an accurate picture of what is happening in the MFI.

5

Why is MIS important to microfinance? (cont’d)

Methods, staffing, and even financing are frequently not proving to be critical constraints to growth. Rather, the ability to track status of its portfolio in a timely and accurate manner is often the most pressing need.

In many cases, the difference between success and failure of the lending and savings operations of MFIs can mostly be attributed to the reliability of the systems tracking this information.

6

Good information systems can: Improve the work of field staff, enabling them

to better monitor their portfolios and provide better service to an increasing number of clients.

Enable supervisors to better monitor their areas of responsibility, pinpointing priority areas that most require attention.

Help senior management to better plan the work of the entire organization and make well informed strategic decisions by regularly monitoring the health of the institution through a set of well-chosen reports and indicators.
