Social Performance Task Force

The Social Performance Task Force (SPTF) is an organization dedicated to improving the social impact of microfinance institutions, which provide small loans to low-income individuals. It develops standards, tools, and best practices to help these institutions measure and manage their social goals alongside financial performance. This ensures they effectively promote positive social outcomes like poverty reduction, empowerment, and financial inclusion, while maintaining operational sustainability. Essentially, the SPTF helps microfinance providers be responsible and transparent about their social mission, ensuring their services truly benefit the communities they serve.
