Introduction

In trying to do something more than worry and make donations to Haiti (which we urge you all to do), we have put together this Wiki for post crisis management support to MFIs in Haiti.

The intention of the Wiki is to offer the global microfinance community a venue to collectively support Haitian microfinance institutions, their managers, employees and clients with the very best post crisis management intelligence in a single easy to access place.

The specific objectives of the Wiki are:

  1. Provide information to managers on the ground about management options, needs, etc. for immediate post crisis management (1-3 months)
  2. Provide case study anecdotes and tips from real post crisis management experiences
  3. Provide a on line information bank for post crisis MFI management
We are not yet sure how we will get the info into the hands of Haitian MFI managers but we will figure that out in a bit.

What Specific Information is Sought?

To begin, there are five basic areas on the Wiki:
  1. Immediate Post Crisis Management Strategy Information (car transport (external link), vending machine (external link))
  2. Operational Tips for Staff and Clients (essays (external link))
  3. Case Studies and Anecdotes from Other Crisis(otimização de sites (external link), acompanhantes (external link))
  4. Literature Reviews by certified resume writers (external link)
  5. Questions and Answers Section| (desentupidora (external link), relogio de ponto (external link))
  6. Thoughts on how to get information onto the ground?(lampadas (external link) and transportadora (external link))
We have provided a basic frame work complete with some limited information gleaned from a quick literature review and conversations with MFI managers with post crisis experience. It is up to the community to provide the rest.

Who Should Provide Information?

The Wiki is open to all. Ideally, however, contributors are practitioners with deep and first hand knowledge of post crisis management.

That said and because many MFI practitioners have probing minds and deep theoretical knowledge, the Wiki is open to great ideas and or questions. Please be circumspect and respectful of the objective of the Wiki if posting knowledge that is not from first hand post crisis management knowledge or credible research.

Please note the Wiki is not a forum for discussion. Rather it is a place to concentrate serious, tested MFI crisis management advice.
For discussion and debate, which are equally important, we urge you to take up conversations in the Microfinance practitioner list serve.
