The Making Microfinance Investment Responsible Action Group focuses its work on building a framework for strengthening the social strategy of microfinance investment vehicles (MIVs) by creating synergies among actors and developing technical support for investors. This framework promotes standardized, complementary approaches and good practices for microfinance investment funds.
Between 2008 and 2012, the Action Group produced five key publications (see “Action Group Publications” below). Five years later, the members of the Action Group have gathered together again to take stock of advancement on how the investors see the work done as well as reflect on what still needs to be done to “Make Microfinance Investment Responsible”.
