説明

Applications accepted on a rolling basis.
Founded in 1984, FINCA International, one of the world's leading microfinance institutions, provides financial services to more than 725,000 clients through 21 wholly-owned and operated subsidiaries in Africa, Eurasia, Latin America and the Greater Middle East. Over the past six years, FINCA has sent nearly 120 Fellows to its country programs to conduct client assessment research. Former Client Assessment Research Fellows have gone on to work with high level organizations, non-profits, and corporations both in the United States and abroad.

Call for Fellows: each summer, student research Fellows use FINCA's Client Assessment Tool (FCAT) to conduct 30-60 minute interviews with clients to gather information on:
- Client demographics,
- Loans,
- Household expenditures,
- Asset accumulation,
- Social metrics (health, housing and education),
- Business metrics,
- Client satisfaction, and
- Program departure questions.

Fellows attend a one week intensive training in Washington, D.C. prior to their work in the field. The course includes training on the following topics:
-Module 1: Introduction to FINCA and Client Assessment Data Collection
-Module 2: Interviewing Best Practices
-Module 3: Surveying with a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)
-Module 4: Data Cleaning and Management
-Module 5: Quantitative Data Analysis and Reporting
Upon successful completion of the training course, Fellows will spend up to 10 weeks conducting research in 1-2 countries. In groups of 3, Fellows will analyze the response data to determine poverty levels, program impact, and why clients join, remain with or exit the program. Teams present their findings to local management and also produce a written report. A final briefing is held in the fall at FINCA International Headquarters.

*Please note: All expenses, including living expenses, in-country and international travel, and travel to/expenses incurred during training should be supplemented by the student's place of study or through outside sponsorship. FINCA can provide letters of recommendation /statements of purpose as needed to help mobilize these funds.
