Scores cluster high, so position within the catalogue is often more telling than the number alone.
Transferability / replicability2/3
The Jordan women-focused MFI model is cited in MENA and partially replicated; EIB and Triodos have supported similar models elsewhere, but MFW's direct replication track is not fully documented.
Impact on gender equality1/1
Over 1.2 million loans disbursed to primarily female borrowers in underserved communities constitute a documented breadth of economic reach for women across Jordan.
Effectiveness1/1
A 92.2% repayment rate sustained over 30+ years of operation is strong evidence that the programme effectively reaches women who use credit productively.
Efficiency1/1
60 branches, 710 staff, and 100,900+ clients with a self-sustaining revenue model backed by the EIB and Triodos suggest high operational efficiency.
Evaluated outcomes0/1
No published independent RCT or impact evaluation documents income or empowerment changes; evidence relies on internal MIS and external funder due diligence.
Sustainability1/1
MFW has operated continuously for 30+ years, is Central Bank licensed, and maintains diversified funding (EIB, Triodos, local banks).
Achievement / evidence1/1
100,900 active borrowers (92.7% women), USD 827 million disbursed, 270,930 microinsurance beneficiaries, and 33,456 trained represent large-scale achievement.
Gender-mainstreaming embedding1/1
Women represent 95%+ of clients, 73.7% of staff, 72% of managers, and 70% of board members — gender mainstreaming embedded at all institutional levels.
