Economic Growth Through Access to Financial Services
This program aims to contribute to economic growth and improved socio-economic conditions for disadvantaged populations. Working in 19 countries, the project focuses on three priorities: (1) improving the range of financial services and the distribution networks of micro-finance institutions; (2) improving the governance of microfinance institutions; and (3) developing dialogue and inter-cooperation among these institutions. Some of the activities include: (1) supporting the creation of financial centers for entrepreneurs; (2) developing agricultural loans, mortgage and micro-insurance; (3) improving the management and services offered to clients; and (4) organizing regional and international seminars to share best practices in micro-finance. In targeting these areas of activity, the project seeks to increase the accessibility and quality of financial services offered to disadvantaged populations, build a professional staff, improve management systems and promote the sharing of best practices. The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: (1) local financial institutions offer their members and clients diversified, accessible, quality financial services; (2) financial institutions are administered by managers and employees who are qualified and competent, adopt best management and governance practices, and show concern for their clientele; and (3) local financial institutions are developed through solidarity and mutual cooperation.
