For this, the study adopts the concept of FCEM (Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method) in concurrence with the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). In our day-to-day situation, the researchers have made many efforts to assess the impact of Microfinance on poverty reduction, but borrowers’ satisfaction is always overlooked. Since the multiple factors impact the borrower’s satisfaction, each factor is made of different items. Thus, as the factors items increase, many uncertainties are created, and hence this will make the decision making unsmooth or imprecise. To describe this, the FCEM method deals with the vagueness in the collection information phase. However, the AHP has been utilized to determine the objective weights of each factor. The presented integrated framework has been illustrated with a case study and presented their results. The study’s managerial benefit is also reported to address the situation.
