Micro Finance International Stearing Commitee & Client Protection

The Campaign for Client Protection in Microfinance is an industry-wide alliance formed to affirm and institutionalize the commitment to client welfare in the practices of microfinance organizations (MFIs) worldwide. The Campaign's six principles include ensuring that MFIs do not engage in reckless or predatory lending; that they are transparent with clients about prices, fees, and terms; that they treat clients with dignity, even during debt collection; and that they keep client data secure.
The wide geographic distribution of Steering Committee members ensures that the Campaign will be broad-based and help shape the practice and principles of thousands of microfinance organizations currently serving tens of millions of the working and entrepreneurial poor worldwide.
Committee members include Clara Serra de Akerman, President, Women's World Banking Colombia; Daouda Sawadogo, General Manager, Federation des Caisses Populaires du Burkina (FCPB: undefined, undefined, undefined%), Burkina Faso; Shireen Farrag, Executive Director, Sanabel Network, Egypt; Anne-Francoise Lefevre, Head of WSBI Institutional Relations, World Savings Banks Institute (WSBI: undefined, undefined, undefined%), Belgium; Asad Mahmood, Managing Director, Global Social Investment Funds, Deutsche Bank, United States; Vipin Sharma, Managing Director, Access Development & Access Alliance, India; Kate McKee, Senior Advisor, CGAP, United States; and Elisabeth Rhyne, Managing Director, Center for Financial Inclusion at ACCION International, United States.
