Social Performance Management
 
As part of a follow up, MCP improved client dealing, put up complaint box at branches and trained staff in relationship management. MCP reported these on social performance management framework (SPMF) to MIX Market on the standard format. In 2009, at the Social Performance Task Force meet at Madrid, Safwco received the Silver Medal for SPMF reporting.

MCP initiated social audit to improve social performance management in 2008. The first step was piloting the poverty score card in 2008 after receiving training from Grameen Foundation. The poverty score card pilot brought out that 67% of Safwco micro finance clients are above national poverty line and about 18% are at the bottom of the pyramid. CED field officers judged 7% as being at the bottom of the pyramid. Compared to microfinance clients, 36% of the sample that did not avail of microfinance services were found to be above poverty line and 40% at the bottom of the pyramid. However 28% of non MF sample and 11% mfi clients are land owners. More women than men, and more urban than rural were found to be poorer. All of them preferred livestock rearing as income generation activity.

Following this MCP carried out a client satisfaction survey for Sanghar branch. Client satisfaction shows that 91% of the clients are satisfied with the loan amount. All the new clients reported satisfaction against 86% of repeating borrowers. Client retention was 72%, with 8% saying they did not require further loans. Continuing clients saw Safwco loan as directly supporting business growth. Greater number (91%) of clients, especially women borrowers were satisfied with the fees and charges and terms and conditions. Very few mentioned knowledge of diversity of loan products and loan ceiling. Almost all the clients found access to Safwco services easy and affordable and were happy with staff behavior and attitude. A total of 95 clients (50 men and 45 women) were carried out from 27 villages.
