Area of Science:

  • Disaster Management
  • Financial Inclusion
  • Development Economics

Background:

  • Major disasters significantly impact microfinance institutions (MFIs), leading to high bad debt and necessitating recapitalisation.
  • The 2004 tsunami in Sri Lanka severely affected numerous microfinance societies, highlighting the vulnerability of these institutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the microfinance institution recapitalisation programme implemented by the SANASA movement in Sri Lanka post-tsunami.
  • To identify key lessons for designing and implementing effective MFI recapitalisation programmes in disaster-affected regions.

Main Methods:

  • Case study analysis of the SANASA movement's recapitalisation efforts in 390 microfinance societies.
  • Review of programme implementation, challenges, and outcomes in the post-disaster context.

Main Results:

  • Microfinance institution recapitalisation is an effective use of post-disaster aid.
  • The SANASA programme demonstrated the feasibility of large-scale MFI recovery.
  • Maintaining credit discipline among borrowers is crucial for long-term MFI sustainability.

Conclusions:

  • Donor flexibility regarding project requirements is essential for successful post-disaster MFI support.
  • Microfinance institutions must prioritize robust credit management to ensure resilience and recovery.
  • The Sri Lankan MFI experience offers valuable insights for global disaster response and financial inclusion efforts.
