From ADA: It’s official! The largest event in inclusive finance on the African continent, the long awaited African Microfinance Week (AMW 2021), will take place in Kigali, in the land of 1,000 hills and mountains: Rwanda. From October 18 to October 22, 2021, the SAM will address the theme of resilience, a concern that is all the more important in these particular times.
This notice is the first in a sponsored series on this year’s SAM (the French acronym for African Microfinance Week), a major conference dedicated to financial inclusion in Africa. The most recent SAM took place in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, from October 21 to October 25, 2019.
ADA, an NGO based in Luxembourg, co-organizes the SAM every two years with the support of Luxembourg’s Directorate for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs. The SAM is also an initiative of the African networks Microfinance African Institutions Network (MAIN) and African Rural and Agricultural Credit Association (AFRACA). We invite you to learn more about SAM 2021 at https://www.ada-microfinance.org/en/sam-2021-presentation-18-22-october.
MicroCapital has been contracted to promote and document each SAM since 2015.
