Les véhicules d'investissement en microfinance et le défi de la performance sociale

Abstract: Ludovic URGEGHE Dans leur rôle de soutien au développement des institutions de microfinance (IMF), les véhicules d’investissement en microfinance (VIM) sont confrontés à la nécessité de justifier la performance sociale de leurs investissements. Cette contribution présente les défis liés à l’utilisation par les VIM des outils existant pour mesurer la performance sociale des IMF, avec notamment le passage d’une vision restreinte et quantitative de la performance sociale à une approche plus large et qualitative.

“…Le pouvoir symbolique acquis par le rating financier provoque un engouement pour une notation sociale simplifiée, harmonisée et indépendante de la part des gestionnaires de fonds socialement responsables (Capron et Quairel-Lanoizelée, 2004).
