The Grameen Crédit Agricole Microfinance Foundation has adopted the values of its founders and puts their commitment into practice by supporting the development of microfinance institutions and facilitating the emergence of “social businesses” in developing countries.
It offers microfinance institutions a complete range of financing products and services in a spirit of partnership. It targets institutions adhering to best governance, transparency and consumer protection practices.
It focuses primarily on microfinance institutions dedicated to agriculture and rural development, as well as those specifically intended for women.
As a non-profit organisation, the Grameen Crédit Agricole Microfinance Foundation conducts its activities in a manner that allow it to preserve the €50 million endowment contributed by its founders. Hide
