To better understand the burden that external reporting places on MFIs, MIX conducted a research study focused on Sub-Saharan Africa. The study included interviews with MFI executives, an online survey, and narratives collected from MFI staff involved in report preparation. It focused especially on the collection and management of data related to loan/ savings portfolios as well as accounting and financial data, and addressed reports to regulators, funders and investors, and networks or associations.
