The paper examines the relationship between governance factors and performance measures of selected microfinance institutions (MFIs). Using panel data estimations, the effects of governance factors, divided in two: internal and external, are going to be studied on the MFIs' performance measures, mainly for financial performance and outreach to clients. The study will find out if the results of the governance-performance relationship are significant in the Metro Manila (Philippine) setting. The results will determine if the approach of measuring performance is significant through its governance.
