How does Truelift work with other industry Standards?

Universal Standards for Social Performance Management

(USSPM): from Social Performance Task Force Truelift Assessment is fully compliant with the efforts of Smart Campaign and Dimension 3 of the USSPM. Truelift will help MFIs improve service while complying with the requirements of the Code of Conduct.

Truelift Assessment:
from Truelift

Truelift applies USSPM Dimension 1 to a specific target group in Pro-Poor Principle 1: Purposeful Outreach to People Living in Poverty.

Truelift looks at an MFI's Board and Staff commitment to creating positive and enduring change for poor people.

Truelift applies USSPM Dimension 4 to a specific target group in Pro-Poor Principle 2: Services that Meet the Needs of People Living in Poverty.

Truelift believes that financial and social performance need not be at odds; rather it's a matter of prioritization. We are seeking models that pursue both.
