Work Plan 2012
In 2012 SPWG LAC will continue to build a social performance certification system for the region. The certification system will focus on three areas: gender, poverty, and rural development. The system will certify best practices and processes of MFIs in each of the areas. SPWG LAC has focused on the development of the certification system for the past two years and hopes to formally launch the system next year.
