| dc.description.abstract | Microcredit programnle is developed to provide financing access to the poor so that they can increase their income and improve their living conditions. The survival of microfinance institutions depends on their ability to be financially sustainable that is the ability to generate their own funds either intelnally or commercially to cover operational costs and generate profit. As many micro finance institutions (MFIs) around the world are progressing towards cOlTIlnercialization, non-governmental organisations like Arnanah Ikhtiar Malaysia (AIM) is also planning to follow suit. Initially, achievement of microfinance institutions are directed towards financial indicators. This has raised concerns that microfinance programmes are drifting away from their social mission to serve the poor. Thus, donors requires MFls to conduct social performance asseSSlnents to ensures that MFls are not drifting away from their social mission. As a result, several social performance assessment tools are developed to gauge whether microfinance institutions are adhering to their social mission. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate AIM's social performance, the challenges it faces in achieving its social mission and to propose recommendations to improve its social performance. | en_US |
