Not the fact that the reported year 2007 was their FIRST full year of operations (!),
nor that they published the report early MARCH 2008 (!), it's not the colours, the professional lay-out and presentation, or the GRI reference in the report....
The innovation is in the fact that Reliance is the first Microfinance Institution worldwide, that included, as an addition to the Global Reporting Index in the back of their report, a reference to the Social Performance Taskforce (draft) indicators.So IF you are looking for a good example report, and want a state of the art reference, check Reliance Gambia's annual report (full pdf version here).
