Financial Intermediation (viz. Micro credit, savings,
insurance etc.) TMN provides bulk credit to network partner agencies.
It does not provide retail micro finance itself. Further
it facilitates linkages with insurance suppliers for
providing comprehensive services to the member partners.
Social
intermediation (viz. Group formation, leadership training,
etc.) TMN provides training and capacity building inputs
including handholding to partners in the field for
them to make good groups for financial intermediation.
Enterprise
Development Services (viz. Marketing, business development,
technology/ skill training, sub sector analysis etc.) This is the third service offered to network partners.
Micro enterprise development is taken up to strengthen
the credit off-take of the partners.
Social
Services (viz. Education, health and nutrition, literacy
training etc.) These activities are not taken up by TMN but are independently
taken up by partners for strengthening their micro
finance services.
TMN is an incubator for NGO-MFIs.
Once the NGOs reach a certain scale of operations and
have consistent performance they are linked with other
bulk lenders. TMN continues to play intermediation role
in organizational development with newer organizations
even as the earlier ones mature and independently develop
mainstream linkages.
