Muhammed Awais, the Regional Microfinance Programme Specialist for Plan International in Asia and a source for one of my past entries, has recently written a blog post for Grameen Foundation in which he describes the “Top Ten PPI Challenges.” Based in Bangkok, Awais has experience implementing the PPI at both the practitioner and network levels, and his list focuses mainly on MFI resistance to adopting the PPI. He addresses various criticisms leveled at the tool, such as that its basis is older socio-economic surveys or that it is too simple to be effective, while also highlighting a problem with the way the tool has been marketed (i.e. from a purely social performance perspective). It provides invaluable advice for individuals and institutions contemplating PPI implementation.
