These sets of information will tell us which sector of micro--credit is serving how many poor borrowers, their gender break-up, their growth during a year or a period, loans disbursed, loans outstanding, savings, etc. The categories, which are doing better, more support can go in their direction. The categories, which are doing poorly, may be helped to improve their performance. For policy maters this will be enormously helpful. For analysis purpose this will make a world of difference. Enough propagation held on micro-credit. But there is no proper investigation on Micro-credit.

This will help donors to select the proper methodology they would like to support. Sorting out these things is very important for the donors, as well as the policymakers.
