Islamic Microfinance: Recent Experience and Future Challenges
Facilitator: Sasha Muench, Mercy Corps - Monterey Institute of International Studies
Presenters: Aamir Rehman, Harvard UniversityPaul Robinson, FINCARobert Wieland, WOCCU
October 23, 2007 Washington, DC
Objectives of the Session
1. Increase participant understanding of Islamic financial tenets and variations
2. Identify areas of interest in this topic among participants
3. Illustrate lessons learned in providing Islamic microfinance effectively
4. Discuss key questions regarding expansion of Islamic microfinance
5. Summarize what we know and what we need to learn
Possible Breakout Groups
1. Products What elements of traditional MF products are impacted
by Sharia? How might they be addressed? What are the implications for profitability?
What are the implications for savings products? Who are key actors to involve in the product design
process? What questions must be asked of potential clients?
2. Back-office What are the implications of compliant (i.e. non-interest
bearing and/or profit sharing) products on MIS? What are the implications of sharia lending on financial
forecasting, risk calculations, loan-loss assessment? Accounting / auditing - how do you account for profit? What additional staff training is required?
Possible Breakout Groups
3. Governance & Management What questions are raised by Sharia regarding traditional
MF institutional governance and ownership structures? What are the implications on an MFI obtaining financing
from non-sharia lenders?
4. Risk Management What are the implications of compliant products on an
institution's risk profile? (i.e. Mudarabah, long-term murabaha (fixed rates)) How might these be managed?
5. Legal & Regulatory Environments What do we need to know about the legal framework for
Islamic microfinance? Do national microfinance laws need to be changed to
accomodate Sharia lending and how?

WOCCU & Islamic Microfinance in Afghanistan
Experiences from ARIES & MISFA
Robert Wieland, for Curtis Slover, World Council of Credit Unions.

WOCCU’s Credit Union Development Projects in Afghanistan
• 2004 – 2005 WOCCU helped to establish two area-based open bond credit unions in the north of Afghanistan: Balkh and Jawzjan. Those two credit unions have grown and become institutionally self-sufficient over the intervening period to the present.
• More recently, WOCCU has established another five Investment Finance Cooperatives (IFCs) in the East and South of the Country. All of these institutions are being re-jigged to accommodate Islamic injunctions against “Riba”, offering “murabaha” loans and share returns on deposits.
