Crossing Century Mark with PCP!
On September 1st, 2010, Magnus Consulting Group Pvt. Ltd., first Social Enterprise in the country, crossed a Century mark by partnering with more than one hundred rural Microfinance Institutes (MFIs). With the enterprise's own ground breaking model and strategies what was envisioned in 2005 now has become a reality. It works with rural MFIs exercising its Private Community Partnership (PCP) model and Behavior Change Intervention (BCI) Strategies (piloted in 2005 in Chitwan and Jhapa district and scaled up after successful outcome) to diffuse Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for eService delivery in rural areas and build capacity of the MFIs and there members to help them reap the technology and eService access benefits for their socio-economic improvement.
In this pioneering work, the model and strategy has stimulated behavior changes in rural MFI managers, board members, operation committee members, employees and farmer members to becoming enterprising and understand importance of stake, or ownership, and adopt the use of ICT in rather accelerated manner. Now these MFIs and Magnus are key actors in the value chain. In the strategy, Magnus implements two-Phase components. In Phase I, the MFIs invests in ICT components: Localized and highly intuitive Software named Simple Finance developed by Magnus, Personal Computer; Power Backup (Inverter/Chargers and Batteries); and Maintenance service. Magnus on the other hand provides Capacity Building training and up to six months' free services which are both aligned with BCI strategy. Phase II follows with ICT-based service (eService) integration. Capacity development of the community stakeholders on eService subscription is integrated through Magnus' own intervention and strategies, strategic partners and Knowledge-base. Learn more...
