Through increasingly rigorous monitoring and evaluation systems, Danish organisations working with VSLA groups, can make greater efforts to better understand the performance, dynamics and survival rate of independent groups. This will is fundamental for assessing the efficiency of working VSLA groups, and as a basis for action plans striving towards better performance of all actors involved.

Utilizing the tools of the SAVIX to collect and compare data, this project aims at empowering savings groups to improve performance significantly, and in collaboration with Danish facilitating organisations construct a credible performance database of savings groups, that can further spur investment in the sector.
