MFIs face a dual challenge in the COVID-19 pandemic; diminishing loan payments, savings deposits, and income (less cash coming in) while continuing to support clients with loan disbursements, savings withdrawals, and paying employees and suppliers (more cash going out). These strains on operations can be modeled relatively quickly using Microfin.
For those who would like to read about how to approach Microfin inputs for various implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, I have created a 10 page document with screen shots from Microfin located here: http://microfin.mfiresources.org/files/Adjusting_Microfin_for_the_cashf…
In addition, I would like to offer MFIs the following support:
Normally, my remote training on Microfin costs USD 100 per hour. However until 10 April 2020, I’m suspending that charge. Anyone can contact me by e-mail (hbrady@mfiresources.org) and indicate their country and the time they would like to meet and I’ll be at my computer ready to assist. Even if the meeting time corresponds to an hour when I’m normally sleeping. We can share screens and talk and see each other through the “Zoom” meeting platform. I only ask that you give me 24 hours notice before your selected meeting time.
Starting April 13 until regular, in-person courses can be facilitiated, I will offer reduced price virtual training to anyone who needs it. The same rules apply as above, 24 hours notice by e-mail. The reduced price is USD 75 per hour. This is best for current Microfin users who would like specific assistance on issues they are facing. There will be no pre-set agenda, you will need to bring your own questions or issues.
For new or less experienced Microfin users, I will offer the Standard Web Course (delivered live) for the reduced price of USD 600 22-26 June 2020. This is 10 hours of training over five days in two hour blocks. I would be happy to schedule a specific course before then at the time you specify. Contact me and we will arrange a time for that training.
