We are thankful to Mastercard Foundation for recognizing the importance of sector-wide quality programming guidelines as a basis for consumer protection, and for partnering with us in their development. Please note that the views and opinions expressed here do not necessarily represent the official viewpoint of the Foundation. We acknowledge the efforts of members of the advisory committee, who volunteered their time to shape the content of the Guidelines and who reviewed numerous drafts, always providing valuable inputs. For their assistance in developing the Guidelines and for sharing their views and experiences, as well as valuable tools, manuals, and studies, we thank Susan Wesley Vega (World Vision), marc bavois (Catholic Relief Services), Guy Vanmeenen (Catholic Relief Services), Sophie Romana (Oxfam America), Kaelyn DeVries (Project Concern International), Janet Karsgaard (World Relief Canada), Boubacar Diallo (Plan International), Gabrielle Athmer (Independent Consultant), Milmer Martinez Vergara (Plant With Purpose), and Nisha Singh (The SEEP Network). Finally, we thank those members of the SEEP Network's Savings-Led Working Group who participated in written surveys and interviews, and who helped inform concerns, opportunities, and priorities around program quality emerging in the field.
