Process for Data Reporting to MIX Note: MFIs that are unable to submit their information over the internet will still be able to submit their data by mailing it in to MIX.

MFIs should report this type of data every year. This year reporting form can be downloaded here:  On line platform: MIX has created an online platform where MFIs can report the type of social performance data related to their policies (e.g., mission statement, governance, consumer protection, etc.).

The link to the social performance profile editor will be ed to MFIs by MIX analyst once the data collection starts (March 2012)  Poverty questionnaire: MFIs who report to track poverty data will receive a separate online poverty data questionnaire to fill out with poverty data of their clients
