GIRAFE is an innovative and unique rating approach conceived by Planet Rating in order to evaluate the performance and institutional risk of microfinance institutions (MFIs). The objective of GIRAFE is to promote an international standard of performance thereby strengthening the confidence of commercial investors.

All our products are based on GIRAFE. Our core product is the GIRAFE Rating, a comprehensive analysis of the risk profile of MFIs. We also propose Interactive Assessments for smaller and emerging institutions. Social Performance Ratings are now available for MFI that wish to complement their institutional and financial rating and provide a comprehensive information to their stakeholders. Our trainings on the GIRAFE Methodology are an excellent introduction to institutional and financial performance evaluation in microfinance.
