Why Networks to do Social Audit/Social Rating
Networks must help MFIs to ‘MANAGE’ their Social performance..because SP is NOT AUTOMATIC.
Networks need to ‘MEASURE’ the measures taken by their MFIs to manage their Social Performance
The Networks need to ensure that their MFIs are SOCIALLY RELEVANT and that
they PERFORM WELL on that front
Social Audit /Rating helps the Networks to gauge how their MFIs ‘MANAGE’ SP
