the European Microfinance Platform (e-MFP): The European Microfinance Award 2020 “Encouraging Effective & Inclusive Savings” is now open to organisations and programmes active in the financial inclusion sector that are innovating in the encouragement and delivery of savings to low-income and excluded populations.
This year, the Award aims to highlight the crucial role that savings can play for low-income and excluded populations, and how financial providers can encourage their effective and widespread use. To learn more about the Award, eligibility criteria, the selection process and the benefits of taking part, please consult the Application Guidelines and Concept Note available on the European Microfinance Award website.
