ABOUT E-MFP
The European Microfinance Platform [e-MFP] was founded formally in 2006. We are a growing network of over 130 organisations and individuals active in the area of microfinance. Our principal objective is to promote co-operation amongst European microfinance bodies working in developing countries, by facilitating communication and the exchange of information. We are a multi-stakeholder organisation representative of the European microfinance community. e-MFP members include banks, financial institutions, government agencies, NGOs, consultancy firms, researchers and universities.
e-MFP's vision is to become the microfinance focal point in Europe linking with the South through its members.
In fostering our vision, e-MFP aims to enhance dialogue, learning and competence in microfinance, by building on existing European experience in developing countries. We actively promote innovative and inclusive financial sector policy, development strategy, and development modelling, based on research and good practice. e-MFP also provides an open platform for microfinance experts, practitioners, researchers and policy makers to promote and encourage innovation, joint initiatives and synergy within the sector.
In facilitating exchange and discussion on microfinance policy issues with European institutions and governments, we aim to advance best practice in microfinance for the benefit of those on low income and to assist in the implementation of practical efficient European development aid programming.
Join us and share the vision!
