AIFSRC M&E OBLIGATIONS
Are we doing what we said we would do?
Are we doing the right things?
Are we using resources optimally and responsibly?
Are we sharing our research widely and appropriately?

The Mid-Term Review - MTR
One business model does not fit all: need to create demand before promoting a business model
Appropriate Partnerships that target local business for sustainability and promote trade
Hurdles are there to improve our systems and promote adoption.
We can use the opportunity of the mid-term review to make the appropriate changes for greater impact
