5. Our belief and challenges » The overall objective of client protection and more generally social responsibility assessment is to build a sustainable microfinance industry, generating a high positive social impact on all its stakeholders while taking into account their respective needs » Measurement of the client protection is increasingly important, especially in the context of financial crisis Few challenges… » CGAP’s Implementing the Client Protection Principles : “It is harder for an investor on its own to change behaviors in a market; the roles of networks and policy makers are also important” » CGAP’s Implementing the Client Protection Principles : “How should an investor respond in a market where none of the MFIs is transparent? Should they decide not to invest, or invest while engaging with partners to improve practice?”
