Microfact is a joint initiative of ADA and BRS to strengthen the financial and social performance capacities of microfinance and microinsurance institutions. To do this, Microfact offers a set of tools and will soon launch its new Microvision tool, which will allow MFIs to develop five-year financial projections.

Microvision is a simple tool for making financial and social projections over a 5-year period. By importing data from the MFI Factsheet or by manually completing them and adding simple assumptions, MFIs can obtain projections of their financial statements and financial and social indicators. The tool provides a general framework for strategic and operational planning, but it also models the impact of different parameters on the MFI’s overall activity. The projections made through Microvision are therefore an essential and valuable contribution to the MFI’s business plan.

In order to optimize the use of Microvision, Microfact offers dedicated training to consultants to train them on how to support MFIs in building their business plans through the use of Microvision.

Language of the training: English

Target audience: Experts, consultants in Financial inclusion and business planning.

Objectives of the training

As consultants, at the end of the training, you will be able to:

• Interpret ratios, analyse financial and social trends, develop long-term, diversified financing strategies and identify key areas to mitigate risks
• Analyse and challenge the results by developing different scenarios of the MFIs performance and simulate the impact of key decisions
• Master Microvision in the process of developing financial and social projections and communicate them to stakeholders
• Strengthen MFIs capacity in business planning by defining their main strategic orientations and making assumptions
• Strengthen MFIs capacity in using Microvision in an autonomous way

Fees: EUR 2,000 (transport and accommodation not included)
