CMA 2017 – recognizing TYM and its members
In the morning of 15/12/2017, the CMA 2017 celebration took place in Hanoi. This is a global annual event organized by the Advisory Centre for Microfinance Resources for Small and Medium Microfinance Enterprises (formerly Vietnam Microfinance Working group – VMWG), with the support of the State Bank of Vietnam. The event is sponsored by the Citi Foundation/Citi Bank Vietnam to recognize microfinance clients and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to the development of the microfinance sector in Vietnam, and to the hunger elimination and poverty reduction.
Under the organizational award category, it is TYM’s honor to be recognized as the “outstanding microfinance institution implementing the principles of client protection”. This is one of the most important factors for a MFI to pursue its poverty reduction mission. TYM has applied the seven customer principles of Smart Campaign for years. So far TYM has developed a standard training program on customer protection and made this as an annual mandatory topic for all staff.
