We promote sustainable development and regional integration by efficiently attracting capital resources to provide a wide range of financial services, with high value added, to the public and private sectors of our shareholders countries.
We are a competitive, client-oriented financial institution responsive to social needs and supported by a highly specialized staff.

The CAF's basic goals for strengthening the financial system that serves the region's microenterprise sector are:
- Strengthen the financial intermediary institutions in the region which already have the experience and technology to provide microfinance services;
- Develop financial markets through the institutional and financial strengthening of intermediary institutions that have the capacity to offer sustainable deposit and credit services to microenterprises;
- Support the development of innovative financial services for the microenterprises through formal financial institutions supervised by national banking superintendencies, or NGOs that specialize in microfinance which are in process of being regulated and supervised;
- Promote the institutional strengthening of MFIs through TA and training programs such as MIS, development of skills and technologies for attracting savings deposits, efficient portfolio management, among others;
- Contribute to strengthening institutional capacity to raise funds locally;
- Assist governments to develop formal microfinance markets
The CAF makes financial resources available to this sector, primarily through loans. Guarantees and equity ownership. It is also involved in institutional strengthening through technical assistance and training for Microfinance institutions in the region. The technical assistance and training are provided through sponsorship of activities to improve Microfinance techniques in the shareholder countries, and spread successful banking technologies.
