To pursue its objectives and meet the needs expressed by its members, the MAIN activities revolve around the following :

Training

Aims at strengthening the internal capacities of the micro-finance institutions so that they can insure their viability and supply to their clients appropriate products.

Promotion of Transparency

Through this tool, the institution can know its level of transparency. The transparency index is calculated and integrated in SPI4 from several elements.
The index gives a graphical summary and a transparency score when the option is selected on the SPI4 cover page. It offers organizations a tool for management and communication around their transparency practices.

The peer learning

Through training and exchange visits, MAIN provides a unique opportunity for microfinance practitioners from different countries to discuss the challenges they face and the innovations they are implementing

Communication

The objective is to facilitate and promote exchange of information in the microfinance sector on issues related to financing African small and micro-economic actors.

Research & Development
