PAMF’s primary objectives are to reduce poverty, diminish the vulnerability of poor populations and alleviate economic and social exclusion. It aims to help people become self-reliant and eventually gain the skills needed to graduate into the mainstream financial markets.
PAMF’s underlying principles are:
1) Long term sustainability – defined as full coverage of costs through revenues and the generation of a modest surplus to finance expansion,
2) Broad outreach with national coverage and supply of services to a range of economic sectors,
3) Maximum impact on the economic livelihoods of the target clientele. Hide

Background: For more than 60 years, various agencies of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) have offered microfinance products and services through integrated development programmes and as self-standing microfinance institutions.
These institutions, which are now administered by AKAM, contribute to poverty alleviation, economic growth and social cohesion in 13 countries in the developing world. The microfinance programmes, microfinance institutions (MFIs) and regulated microfinance banks have delivered over USD 200 million in loans since their inception.
In 2006, AKAM established The Première Agence de MicroFinance in Burkina Faso (PAMF-BF), with the initial aim to serve farmers and seasonal workers. PAM F Burkina Faso has been able to grow at a fast pace, and to develop its offer of services.
Since inception, PAMF has disbursed a total amount of ca. USD 3.5 million to around 14,000 borrowers.
Challenges: PAMF’s challenges are:
1) Providing a range of microfinance products to the poor, throughout Burkina Faso and contributing to innovation in the local banking sector;
2) Strengthening the institutional set-up of the institution;
3) Developing local human resources. Hide
