FOREWORD
PROVIDING financial services to the poor involves not just lending but
also cost recovery. This ensures sustainability. In agrarian reform
communities (ARCs), many microfinance institutions (MFIs) fail to
attain sustainability due to a common problem: delinquency, or the
failure of borrowers to pay. Delinquency is a hidden monster that eats
up at a major asset—the loan portfolio—of MFIs.
To address this problem, the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR),
in partnership with Punla sa Tao Foundation, Inc. undertook the project
“Microfinance Capability Building for Grassroots Banking in the ARCs.”
The project aimed to assist the ARC cooperatives engaged in microfinance
in managing and controlling delinquency among its borrowers.
This Operations Manual for Cooperatives was developed to help the
ARC cooperatives understand the nature of, and thus effectively control,
the hidden monster called delinquency.
