      DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania, June 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --


      Oikocredit presenta su Informe de Desempeño Social 2010

      Los resultados sociales de las microfinanzas deberían ser tan importantes para el desarrollo del sector como los resultados financieros. Hoy, Oikocredit hace público su Informe de DesempeñoSocial durante la Asamblea General Anual celebrada en Tanzania. El informe demuestra un cambio positivo en la vida de los prestatarios, especialmente de las mujeres de áreas rurales, de acuerdo con la visión de Oikocredit de alcanzar de manera responsable a más personas por medio de las finanzas justas.

      El año pasado, Oikocredit alcanzó a más de 28 millones de personas a través de sus socios de microfinanzas, de las cuales más de 1,2 millones de personas se beneficiaron directamente del financiamiento de Oikocredit. Un impresionante 86% de quienes tuvieron acceso a servicios financieros mediante los socios de Oikocredit son mujeres. Las pequeñas y medianas empresas que recibieron financiamiento de Oikocredit ofrecieron empleo fijo a 61 000 personas.

      "Nuestros servicios financieros están estrechamente vinculados a nuestros objetivos sociales. Para lograr metas sociales es esencial evaluar a quiénes alcanzamos y cómo se traduce el apoyo financiero en sus vidas", afirmó el director de Desempeño Social y Análisis Financiero de Oikocredit, Ben Simmes. "Los resultados iniciales de las encuestas realizadas a clientes en el Perú, Ecuador y Filipinas, facilitadas por Oikocredit, mostraron cambios positivos en la vida de los prestatarios a lo largo de varios años. Estamos llevando a cabo estudios similares en otros países".

      El total de la cartera de financiación del desarrollo de Oikocredit se elevó a € 481 millones, de los cuales € 388 millones se invirtieron en microfinanzas y € 93 millones en empresas sociales. Entre los socios de Oikocredit se incluyen más de 230 cooperativas y casi 50 organizaciones de comercio justo.

      El apoyo a las instituciones de microfinanzas (IMF) pequeñas y nuevas, y con el potencial de alcanzar a los pobres, especialmente en áreas rurales, es una estrategia importante de Oikocredit que amplía el acceso al financiamiento. Los resultados del 2010 muestran que el 90% de los nuevos préstamos en ese año se extendieron a lo que se conoce como el segundo y tercer segmento de IMF, es decir, las IMF emergentes con carteras pequeñas y medianas.

      Oikocredit elige con mucho cuidado a sus socios a partir de su misión, alcance y operaciones. La tarjeta de puntaje ambiental, social y de gobernabilidad (ASG) desarrollada por Oikocredit para identificar la estructura de gobierno de nuestros socios y su compromiso social y ambiental permite una selección de nuestros socios muy detallada y cuidadosa. Todos los nuevos contratos de préstamo para los socios de microfinanzas incluyen la adhesión a los Principios de Protección al Cliente, los cuales garantizan que se ofrezcan precios transparentes en los servicios y financiamiento responsable. Por otra parte, la agencia internacional de calificación especializada en microfinanzas M-CRIL elogió mucho a Oikocredit por su orientación social, seguida por su sólido desempeño financiero.

      Este año, más del 90% de los socios de microfinanzas de Oikocredit reportaron estadísticas sociales, indicando la importancia cada vez mayor de divulgar información acerca del desempeño social. Oikocredit se enorgullece de estar a la vanguardia en cuanto a la gestión del desempeño social y  continuará con dedicación y tenacidad con su misión social de los últimos 35 años, centrándose en la diferencia que produce el financiamiento justo en la vida de las personas pobres.
