Overview WEF Effort: Accelerating Impact Measurement and Management Kicking off now 2018 AG1 and 2: AG3: AG4: AG5: AG6: AG7: Evidence & Stakeholder Conventions Resource Training & Training & Cases Voice and Norms Hub Capacity Safeguardin Translate and Capture the Establish Explore Building g Integrity synthesize the voice of all shared common IMM Create a Explore existing those who are conventions practices that training inclusive ways evidence, and affected by the and norms align to norms; program to to safeguard develop impact/ based on case Connect users build capacity and maintain additional intervention studies and to tools, within integrity of case studies (both during existing techniques, organizations measurement design and content and resources and throughout the management investment) practices • Work of all action groups will be connected and coordinated • And integrated with other ongoing initiatives (IMP, Navigating Impact, etc) 81
SPTF is leading Action Group 3 • Lead contacts : � American Evaluation Association (John � SPTF (Laura Foose & Leticia Emme) Gargani) • Contributors � Anton Simanowitz (Independent) � Julian King & Associates (Julian King) � Acumen (Kat Harrison) � LIEDERSHIP (Carl Liederman) � BBVA FM (Stephanie Garcia Van Gool) � Mercy Corps (Michael MacHarg) � Bamboo Finance (Ximena Escobar de � Microfinance Opportunities (Monique Nogales) Cohen) � CERISE (Jon Salle) � Social Value Intl (Jeremy Nicholls) � Claremont Eval. Center (Deborah Rugg) � Social Value US (Sara Olsen) � EDA Rural (Frances Sinha) � The Good Economy (Sarah Forster) � Ellen Carey (Independent) � UBS (James Gifford, Andrew Lee) � GIIN/Navigating Impact (Kelly McCarthy) � UNPRI (Kurt Morrisen) � Impact Mgmt Project (Clara Barby) 82
Why is SPTF involved and how is this relevant to you? • Share the experience of financial inclusion ▫ Collaboration, working towards common objectives ▫ Development and implementation of standards, common audit and monitoring tools, advancement of outcomes management work, etc • Financial inclusion can help pave the way of less-mature sectors – seen as “example” • Opportunity to shape frameworks and tools that can be used by asset owners and investors throughout the broader investments sector ▫ Can help investors differentiate themselves • Help avoid impact-washing – gathering the voice of the stakeholder is at the core of impact management... and something SPTF has experience with (standards, outcomes) 83
Action Group 3: Objective • Provide guidance on best ways to get stakeholder input to promote resource allocation decisions that would be endorsed by all those who may be affected by impact investment/intervention � Engage all affected stakeholders in the design phase and throughout the impact investment/intervention � To create value that stakeholders affected want and need To understand the user experience and the intended and un- � intended effect of the impact investment/intervention 84
Key definitions/clarifications – let’s make sure we are all on the same page • What do we mean with stakeholders? – all affected � Beneficiary/end customer Those not included – but still affected by intervention � • Levels of impact � Direct effect on direct beneficiaries (target of the intervention) MINIMUM BAR Direct effect on other stakeholders (not the target, still affected) � � Indirect effect -- harder to measure IDEAL • Creating value = understanding what the stakeholders want and need (not just what the investor wants) • Gathering input should be an iterative, “multi-touch” process • Impact investors might not engage on this process themselves – but should ask/require of it from their investment managers 85
Action Group 3: Proposed Deliverables 1. Outline of ideal process to engage CORE stakeholders DELIVERABLES PHASE 1 2. (Self-assessment) checklist/rubric for (May-December investors to assess extent to which 2017, pilot testing 2018) investments align/achieve to “ideal process” (#1) 3. Document that provides guidance for ADDITIONAL RECOMENDED improvement (add-on to be used after results DELIVERABLES of #2 in order to get closer to #1) PHASE 2 4. Business case for the impact investor (i.e. why (Jan-June 2018- depending on engaging and understanding all stakeholders is funding) key to delivering impact) 86
The work of AG3 is aligned with the IMP , Navigating Impact, and the WEF agenda 87
Understanding the user experience is at the core of managing impact 88
Discussion: Key elements of an “ideal process” to engage stakeholders 1. What can investors do, via direct and indirect investments, to support the gathering of stakeholder input as part of the investment/intervention? 2. What should be the “minimum” effort and what is the “ideal” effort”? (e.g., direct vs. indirect impact, iterative process/multiple touch-point) 89

The Future of Microfinance • Discussion about the role of investors, challenges, and opportunities given the emergence and growth of DFS and Fintech • Perspectives from ▫ Investors (Grassroots) ▫ FSP (Fundacion Genesis Empresarial) ▫ Smart Campaign ▫ CGAP • Open discussion with participants
FUTURE OF MICROFINANCE
Grassroots’ Experience • 2 financial inclusion equity funds in India and Latin America; 1 multi-sector debt fund in India • Investment in fintech has been lagging in LAC compared to other regions, despite higher potential: � Financial access in LAC (only 51% of adults own an account) pales in comparison to both the East Asia and Pacific region (69%) and rest of OECD countries (94%) • In our portfolio: • India – all MFI portfolio companies using fintech/ DFS; • LAC – adoption more nascent/ limited 94
DFS Initiatives – India Clients: - Repay their weekly, bi-weekly or monthly loan installments with their mobile phones - Visit digital micro payment provider in own villages, rather than traveling up to reach a branch - Gain critical time-saving bridge to access financial services, and knowledge of mobile money products and services Loan Officers: • Process loan applications on tablets or phones • Paperless loan processing by operations & credit departments saves time, costs • Shorten underwriting process at the branch level 95
DFS Initiatives – LAC • Mobile Points of Service reach rural, remote clients • Portable computer system at the client's business or property to: 1. Make a preliminary credit assessment of the loan application 2. Collect loan repayments 3. Conduct client surveys 96
DFS and Microfinance: Opportunities • Complement, not replacement • Keep client at the center New Product Launch Cost Reduction Customer 97
DFS and Microfinance: Investors’ Role • Due diligence: MFIs’ abilities to effectively embrace and leverage fintech is key • Take long-term view and provide the guidance and capital for investments in new technologies, products and services • Monitor fintech risks and protect clients: often unregulated, charge higher rates, may not participate in credit bureau, over-lending, lower operating costs mask higher write-offs 98
