Muhammad Awais’ recent blog post about creating national PPI™ peer learning networks fits nicely with my previous post about the new PPI Certification Program. Awais, the Regional Microfinance Advisor for Plan International in Asia, talks about the challenges he and others faced in setting up a peer learning network to support MFIs wishing to implement the PPI in Cambodia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. In essence, his post looks at the the flip side of what I addressed in my recent post (and he’s also more directly involved in the whole process than I am). While I examine what might be considered a top-down approach to helping MFIs implement the PPI tool properly and efficiently—and view the benefits from a decidedly macro perspective—Awais reflects upon his own experiences with an approach aimed at the same goal from the bottom-up: the creation of MFI-led networks to facilitate PPI implementation.
