This summary describes technical assistance provided by LIFT to microfinance institutions (MFIs) in order to help them assess the financial and social benefits of a new agricultural loan product. The technical assistance targeted capacity development, enabling the institutions to conduct a cost–benefit analysis (CBA) of their loan portfolios, including the new loan product – for which farmers use their second level land certification as a guarantee. The summary describes the CBA approach and presents key findings and lessons learned from the technical assistance process.
