While the overall goal of this component is to coordinate and manage the development of MFIs savings and credit services by their members until such time that the MFIs, their apex organizations and the linked FIs take on these roles on a permanent and sustainable basis, the specific objectives are

• Establishment of working PSC
• Establishment of PMU by staff recruited through objective criteria and an open competitive selection.
• Establishment of ZMUs through competitive selection
• Establishment of District –RFSP sub-committees in programme zones other than Mbeya.
