Creating a Common Language for Assessing Social and Environmental Impact
I would suggest you to add:
-urban/rural clients
-young/adult clients
-productive/consumer lending products
-clients above/below poverty line (national or $1-$2)
Thanks
The difference between ‘clients’ and ‘active clients’ (or at least the importance of the difference) is not entirely clear. Some more detail on what constitutes a client may be warranted. For instance, does ‘voluntary savers’ include institutions that open a savings account?
You may also want to clarify if the indicators are for a point in time, or cumulative (’ever served’).
We use the XBRL dimensions to provide the client breakouts as above; that may be a good way to gain some depth without too many additional concepts.
