The EAGLE Achievement Award
The annual EAGLE Awards is MABS’ way of recognizing its excelling partner rural banks based on their Efficiency, Asset Quality, Growth, Liability Structure, and Earnings (EAGLE). Every year, MABS conducts an assessment of its participating banks’ performance particularly in microfinance. The results of the annual assessment are presented to the rural banks in a score card format along with written analyses and recommendations for improvement, usually during the annual National Roundtable Conference. Those that met MABS’ standards for excellence are awarded the EAGLE Achievement Award.
