ACTION GROUPS

Action Groups

e-MFP Action Groups are the result of productive synergies  between European microfinance actors, enabling constructive dialogue and cooperation between e-MFP members. Their main objective is to improve and multiply coordinated activities between members which in turn contributes to the development of the microfinance sector.

Action Groups are formed by a minimum of six Full members from at least three different European countries with representation from at least two of the e-MFP Peer groups (financial institutions, NGOs, researchers, consultant and support services, government agencies).

The exchange and dialogue on specific topics between organisations with different perspectives is what makes e-MFP Action Groups unique. Our Action Groups produce concrete outputs and they adapt their activities and outputs to reflect the realities of microfinance in the field in developing countries.

The current e-MFP Action Groups are:

  1. Rural Outreach and Innovation -  focussing on value chain development and value chain finance
  2. The Legal Framework for Microfinance Funds in Europe - proposing solutions for a well adapted regulatory framework within the European Alternative Investment Fund Managers directive (AIFM) 
  3. Making Microfinance Investments Responsible - a framework for strengthening the social strategy  of microfinance investment vehicles (MIVs)
  4. Research in Microfinance - gathering high level researchers, academics, professionals and students to discuss essential issues the microfinance sector is facing today
