Abstract
Despite the boom in microfinance in Togo, the sector is seriously shaken by serious crises that threaten its performance and cast doubt on its sustainability. To explain performance crises to which microfinance institutions are subject, governance is regularly mentioned. This paper aims to identify internal governance mechanisms that can influence microfinance institutions’ performance in Togolese context. It is found out at the end of this paper that board of directors (the board size, presence of women on the board, duration of directors’ term of office and frequency of board meetings) influences financial and social performance of MFIs. On the contrary, the fact that MFI belong to a network or not, and its legal status have no effect on its performance.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
