Below some information is copied from the PPI website. Klick on the logo to visit the page with country information directly.



PPI™ by Country

Once a PPI™ is built for a market, it is intended for the public good and is available to all who wish to use it. Grameen Foundation’s collaboration with other key stakeholders within the microfinance industry will ensure that the PPI is available for the greatest number of MFIs that wish to better meet the needs of the poorest members of the communities they serve. There are currently PPIs for Bangladesh, India, Mexico, the Philippines, Haiti, Morocco, Bolivia, Peru and Pakistan. Click on each country to download its PPI and supporting documents.
In partnership with CGAP and the Ford Foundation, Grameen is building PPIs for all of the markets where its partners operate and where a demand exists for the PPI. Grameen Foundation is currently piloting the PPI with network partners in Latin America, Asia and the Middle East/ North Africa region. Organizations outside the Grameen Foundation network are utilizing the PPI in South Africa, India, Pakistan, the Philippines and Bolivia.
