Australian Development Gateway

The Australian Development Gateway (ADG) strives to support members of the development community in their efforts to reduce poverty and enhance sustainable development in the Asia Pacific region. The site has been created with participation from members of government, private, academia and non-government organisations. User feedback mechanisms have been incorporated to guide future directions of the site. The site is optimised for low bandwidth access to enable the widest participation throughout the Asia Pacific region.

Microfinance consensus guidelines (pdf 290kb)

These guidelines put forward standard definitions for selected financial terms and suggest a standard method of calculating certain financial ratios. The aim is to make comparisons between MFIs more meaningful and promote transparency in MFI reporting whilst overcoming issues of distortion and confusion.
