Assumptions

TCP mission is to maximize access to micro-credit within displaced communities in Colombia

TCP aims to build sustainable programs and move on to new areas

90% repayment rate within one year with 10% loss

10% annual interest (calculated on 50% of total amount)

increasing allocation to loan pool; starts at 50%, goes to 100% by year  6

decreasing allocation of repaid loans to TCP partner; starts at 50%, goes to 0 by year 6

monthly expenses to support program operating within an organization = $750

Operating costs = estimated monthly salary of $500 to $600, plus bank fees, & miscellaneous

partner will purchase needed equipment and develop efficiencies over first 5 years

Maximum to any one partner would be $30,000 in 2007 dollars

Above will have to be recalculated as the value of the dollar fluctuates.

Additional Factors affecting sustainability

1. Existence of an oversight board

2. Availability of additional funding sources (replication) as occurred in Santa Marta and Popayan

3. Creation of Loan recipient savings accounts to provide security

4. Partner organization runs additional programs which cover overhead; TCP covers one salary


Projected funding requirements to take on new partners
