AFRICAN MICROFINANCE INVESTOR’S FAIR

OCTOBER 15-16, 2008, HOTEL SOFITEL TERANGA, DAKAR, SENEGAL

African Microfinance Transparency (AMT) has organized an African Microfinance Investor’s Fair in Dakar. The purpose of this fair is to bring together rated African microfinance institutions (MFIs) that are in search of funding sources and investors that are offering funding and other such resources to MFIs, be it in local or foreign currency.

On the 14th an awareness-raising session for Senegalese MFIs who have yet to undergo a rating will take place and the investor fair itself will take place on the 15 and 16.

Some attendees include but are not limited to: SEAP (Nigeria), PEACE (Ethiopia), MBT (Zambia), Jitegemee Trust (Kenya), FINCORP (Swaziland), CAPPED (Congo), Beehive (South Africa), YARDA ZINDER (Niger), Union Rural Bank (Ghana), Sinsinso (Mali), SEDA (Tanzania) and PRIDE (Malawi).

To be eligible to attend this fair, MFIs must have:

• Undergone at least one external rating with a rating agency
• Filled out and returned a questionnaire concerning their sources of funding and which investors they would most like to meet.

To register, contact Emma Paul at Emma.ada@microfinance.lu or +352-45-68 68 31. As the event is invitation only, there are no registration costs. Registration closes September 30, 2008. Accommodation grant request forms are available from the coordinator.
