5 Intrductin This appraisal frmat has been develped by the Cnsultative Grup t Assist the Pr (CGAP) as a guide t evaluating netwrk supprt rganizatins (NSOs) in micrfinance. Bradly speaking, an NSO is an rganizatin whse primary functin is t develp its institutinal partners. 1 NSO partners are typically micrfinance institutins, banks, r ther rganizatins that ffer financial services t the pr. The NSO and its partners frm what is cmmnly called a micrfinance netwrk. 2 This frmat is an utline fr gathering infrmatin and assessing NSOs. It has a number f pssible applicatins, ranging frm appraisals fr funding decisins t internal NSO selfassessments. It is designed fr bth cmprehensive appraisals as well as mini evaluatins that use a particular sectin f the frmat t analyze a specific aspect f an NSO. Fr funders interested in a full appraisal, this frmat will help an analyst assess: (1) hw well an NSO s missin fits a funder s strategic pririties, (2) the degree t which an NSO is an efficient and well-run rganizatin, (3) the quality f NSO services and their relevance t partners, and (4) an NSO s cntributin t the brader micrfinance industry. The appraisal frmat is divided int five sectins: Sectin Descriptin 1. Summary Analysis Reprt Prvides a framewrk fr the final reprt f an analyst, which shuld (a) draw cnclusins abut whether the NSO adds value t its partners in a cst-effective way and (b) prvide recmmendatins fr funding. 2. Institutinal Factrs Explres an NSO s missin and develpment strategy and analyzes its rganizatinal capacity. 3. NSO Partners Examines the prfile f NSO partners, relatinships between an NSO and its partners, and the impact f an NSO n its partners. 4. NSO Services Evaluates each service f an NSO, their impact n partner perfrmance and their cntributin t the brader micrfinance industry. 5. Strategic Plan Analyzes an NSO s strategic plan and summarizes NSO prjectins fr future peratins. Each sectin begins with an verview t guide an analyst thrugh the different mdules cntained in the sectin. At the utset f each mdule, an analyst is instructed t describe a particular aspect f the NSO, fllwed by a series f evaluative questins. 1 Althugh different terms, such as partner, member, and/r affiliate, are used t describe the relatinship f an NSO t the rganizatins it supprts, the term partner is used here t characterize all f these relatinships. 2 The diversity f NSOs perating in micrfinance is discussed in Jennifer Isern and Tamara Ck, What Is a Netwrk? The Diversity f Netwrks in Micrfinance Tday, CGAP Fcus Nte, n. 26 (Washingtn, DC: CGAP, July 2004). 1

7 Methdlgy There is n simple way t cnduct an appraisal f an NSO. By their very nature, NSOs are cmplex rganizatins that prvide many angles frm which t measure and evaluate perfrmance. Based n CGAP s experience, there are a number f lessns learned that may help streamline the prcess. The fllwing is a list f recmmended steps fr an appraisal prcess. The rder f steps is intentinal, but shuld be changed as circumstance demands. Step 1: Determine the purpse and scpe f the appraisal Befre beginning an appraisal f an NSO, the cmmissining rganizatin shuld identify the key purpse(s) and scpe f the appraisal and establish the terms f reference fr an analyst(s). A full appraisal f an NSO fr the purpse f funding might use the cmplete frmat, with special attentin t the fllwing: 1. Analysis f the NSO s bjectives and institutinal capacity. The analyst shuld determine whether the NSO is a gd channel t meet the funder s wn strategic bjectives and whether the NSO has the institutinal capacity t achieve its stated gals. The analyst shuld draw cnclusins abut the extent t which the NSO is an efficient and well-run rganizatin with gd prspects fr the future Analysis f the NSO s impact r the value it adds t it partners. The analyst shuld draw cnclusins abut the extent t which the NSO adds value t its partners in a cst-effective way. The analyst shuld draw upn interviews with NSO partners and ther stakehlders, as well as data gathered frm different sectins f this appraisal frmat, t analyze the NSO s verall added value t partners. The analyst may als find it useful t lk at trends in a variety f partner perfrmance indicatrs t get a sense f whether the NSO is actually helping partners expand their utreach and imprve their financial perfrmance. Crrelating the quality and perfrmance f NSO partners with NSO inputs is inherently difficult, but remains a critical part f the analyst s wrk. In additin t analyzing NSO inputs, perfrmance trends, and the viewpints f the NSO and its partners, the analyst must als cnsider ther factrs that impact NSO partners, such as: (1) envirnmental factrs, (2) the stage f partner develpment when it became affiliated with the NSO, and (3) supprt received by partners frm ther NSOs r technical service prviders. 3. Analysis f NSO services and cntributin t the brader micrfinance industry. The analyst shuld draw cnclusins abut the extent t which the NSO prvides quality services that further its missin, are relevant t its partners, and cntribute t the brader micrfinance industry. Cnclusins abut the NSO s cntributin t the brader micrfinance industry shuld cme frm analysis f its services, such as knwledge management, plicy advcacy, research and develpment, and interviews with key stakehlders. The Summary Analysis Reprt has been designed specifically t capture this analysis. Items marked with a star ( ) thrughut the frmat are critical t the analysis. Fr appraisals r evaluatins that are smaller in scpe, the frmat itself may be a useful tl fr selecting areas f fcus fr the analyst s terms f reference. 3 T date, there are n perfrmance benchmarks fr NSOs. Until such benchmarks are develped, the analyst will have t use his r her best judgment and ther relevant perfrmance standards fr similar rganizatins. The analyst shuld, hwever, make clear the basis fr his r her cnclusins. 3
8 4 FORMAT FOR APPRAISAL OF NETWORK SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS Step 2: Chse the analyst N matter the skill r experience f the analyst, the evaluatin f an NSO is a significant undertaking. An evaluatin is necessarily subjective and heavily dependent n the qualificatins and judgment f the persn carrying it ut. The mre experience an analyst has with micrfinance prviders, NSOs, the wider micrfinance industry, and institutinal-level issues, the better the analyst will be able t assess the verall quality f the NSO. Step 3: Select apprpriate sectins and mdules f the frmat The analyst shuld wrk clsely with the cmmissining rganizatin t select sectins and mdules f the frmat specific t the purpse(s) f the appraisal, as determined in step 1. The chice f apprpriate sectins and mdules will be based n the nature f the NSO, infrmatin available frm existing surces, the timeframe, and the budget. Funders wuld likely use the full framewrk nly in the case f a significant funding decisin. Fr smaller funding decisins, the analyst may chse t cmplete the Summary Analysis Reprt, fcusing n the key questins cntained there. Thse questins have been deliberately crss-referenced t ther sectins f the appraisal frmat t enable the analyst t quickly reference specific areas that may require mre extensive analysis. Step 4: Map ut the appraisal Befre the actual appraisal begins, take time t map ut a plan fr cmpleting the appraisal. Schedule time t hld a meeting(s) r cnference call(s) with the NSO and the cmmissining rganizatin, as well as ther majr stakehlders, t clarify expectatins f the prcess. Strategize the best methds fr gathering and cmpiling infrmatin, including the recmmendatins f NSO partners. The analyst, rather than the NSO, shuld make the final selectin f partners t interview and/r visit, ensuring that these rganizatins are representative f NSO clientele. Criteria fr chsing partners t interview and/r visit include: balance, in terms f partner size (utreach and prtfli), prfile (prducts, diversity, current challenges) and maturity, as well as gegraphical lcatin intensity and duratin f the NSO s relatinship with the partner appraisal time frame, budget, and number f team members the judgment f the analyst and the cmmissining rganizatin Step 5: Cllect available data in advance Prir t cnducting interviews and n-site visits, the analyst will want t capture as much data as pssible abut the NSO and its partners.
9 METHODOLOGY 5 Key data surces fr the evaluatin include: cmpleted Netwrk Supprt Organizatin Prfile 4 internal NSO dcumentatin, including financial statements fr the past three years, gvernance dcuments, missin statements, annual and quarterly reprts, reprts t funders and partners, business and wrk plans, rganizatinal charts, infrmatin system utputs, key publicatins, and ther relevant materials external reprts, ratings, r evaluatins f the NSO, including any relevant surveys cnducted amng its partners data reprted thrugh the MIX (e.g., partner prfiles) The analyst shuld als nte infrmatin that is requested but unavailable, particularly infrmatin that is unavailable due t gaps in NSO infrmatin tracking. Step 6: Cnduct telephne interviews and site visits Interviews shuld be cnducted with a significant sample f (1) NSO staff and bard members, plus partner managers, staff, and bard members, wh cllectively represent the diversity f the netwrk, (2) funders wh have supprted the NSO in the past, and (3) ther industry stakehlders. The Interview Guides fr NSO Partners and Industry Stakehlders in annexes 3 and 4 prvide sample questins and shuld be adapted, as apprpriate. All interviewees shuld be reassured that their respnses will be cnfidential and will nt be reprted t the NSO in any frm that wuld assciate a specific cmment with a particular rganizatin. The analyst shuld visit NSO headquarters and main ffices and meet with key management and technical staff. Depending n the scpe f the evaluatin, site visits f selected NSO partners shuld als be cnducted. If a cmplete partner appraisal is required as part f the evaluatin, the CGAP Frmat fr Appraisal f Micrfinance Institutins can be a useful tl. Step 7: Cmpile infrmatin and prepare the reprt Given the brad nature f mst NSO activities, a final appraisal reprt culd easily becme unwieldy. The analyst will need t balance the vlume f infrmatin against analysis f key decisin-making issues. The Summary Analysis Reprt is designed t highlight key findings and shuld be written t stand alne as a synthesis f the appraisal. The analyst may find it helpful t refer t the screcard in annex 1 t rate the NSO as he r she wrks thrugh the different mdules f the frmat. Step 8: Present the initial reprt t the NSO fr feedback Invlving NSO leadership, including directrs and managers, in the evaluatin frm the beginning can help them better understand the peratins f their rganizatin and imprve its perfrmance. Once the draft reprt is available, it is essential t share it with NSO leadership t cnfirm the accuracy f the infrmatin reprted, as well as t draw n their deep 4 A blank Netwrk Supprt Organizatin Prfile is attached as Annex 2 f this appraisal frmat. Cmpleted Netwrk Supprt Organizatin Prfiles fr a number f NSOs are psted n the MIX ( under the Partner sectin. Prfiles fr rganizatins that primarily prvide funding are available under the Supply sectin. NSOs that participate in the MIX may update their NSO Prfiles nline n a yearly basis. The analyst may want t discuss with the NSO any differences between the NSO s self-reprted respnses and the analyst s wn findings.
10 6 FORMAT FOR APPRAISAL OF NETWORK SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS understanding f the NSO and its partners. The analyst shuld discuss the initial findings with the NSO and, ideally, request written feedback frm the NSO n the draft reprt. Step 9: Distribute the final reprt with recmmendatins and cnclusins The final reprt will prvide the cmmissining rganizatin useful insights fr making a funding decisin. If dne well, an appraisal will als prvide valuable insights that allw the NSO t understand its capacity and imprve its perfrmance. With this in mind, the Summary Analysis Reprt shuld be tailred as needed t incrprate additinal details frm the main sectins f the frmat. Once the Summary Analysis Reprt is cmpleted, the cmmissining rganizatin, in cnsultatin with the NSO, shuld decide n its distributin within the netwrk and amng stakehlders. Bx 2.

16 2 Institutinal Factrs Overview: The central fcus f this sectin is the questin: Is the NSO an efficient and wellrun rganizatin? The evaluative questins refer t the NSO s micrfinance prgram. Fr NSOs that als prvide nn-micrfinance services, be sure t characterize the relatinship between thse activities and its micrfinance prgram. Describe hw the micrfinance prgram cmpares in scale and utreach t the activities f the NSO as a whle. 2.1 Missin and Develpment Strategy Describe the NSO s missin and develpment strategy, i.e., the prblems the NSO has identified and hw it seeks t address them. Cnsider frmal charters f the NSO and the visin f its leaders. Discuss the NSO s missin and develpment strategy in terms f (1) its relatinships with its partners and (2) its rle with respect t the brader micrfinance industry. Evaluate: Clarity. Are the missin and develpment strategy f the NSO clearly cnveyed? Are they understd and shared equally by management, staff, and partners? Effectiveness. D the missin and develpment strategy f the NSO effectively mtivate the NSO and its partners? Evaluate the main strengths and weaknesses f the missin and develpment strategy. 2.2 Funding and Evlutin Describe hw, when, and by whm the NSO was established, and hw it has evlved ver time. Discuss the basis fr the initial design f the NSO s rganizatinal structure, develpment strategy, services, and gegraphic fcus, then describe the principal causes f change. If the rganizatin is a multi-sectr NSO, nte the inceptin f the micrfinance prgram and the impetus fr its creatin, as well as its rle within the brader rganizatin. 2.3 Gvernance Describe the legal framewrk by which the NSO is gverned, including its bard f directrs r equivalent bdy (size, cmpsitin, cmmittees, and member qualificatins). Discuss the bard s fficial and de fact rles and any unfficial influence it has n NSO gvernance and peratinal style. Attach a list f the current members f the bard, alng with their utside affiliatins. Evaluate: Legal framewrk. Is the legal framewrk effective fr NSO peratins? Fr multisectr NSOs, t what extent are there separate dcuments that gvern micrfinance activities? Structure.
