MicroSave is committed to building capacity for training delivery and use of its toolkits among microfinance institutions (MFIs) pursuing a market-led, client-responsive approach to developing and delivering financial services. MicroSave’s approach is distinguished by its practice-based training philosophy and strategy: MicroSave’s toolkits are developed on the basis of rigorous, field-based research and testing of the approaches and tools with a diverse range of MFIs operating in a variety of markets. MicroSave training programmes then focus on transferring the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for effective use of each toolkit through hands-on, practical application of the tools as part of the training process.
Each year MicroSave trains staff members of MFIs, consultants, donors and other actors in the microfinance sector to use and institutionalise MicroSave toolkits. To ensure the training is translated into relevant change in institutional performance,
MicroSave employs four complementary training strategies:
- Classroom training is always followed by practical field work
- Training materials are developed as a complete package of resources
- Training is designed for specific skill sets, not particular microfinance models
- Certified Service Providers extend the capacity for high-quality training and use of the toolkits
The toolkits are comprehensive and, in most cases, relatively easy to use without training. However, many consultants have found significant value-added in receiving formal training and experiential learning with MicroSave and its Certified Service providers (CSPs) through its practice-based trainings.
