ADA, as initiator of innovative concepts, identifies, tests and develops microfinance products through its capacity building programme for MFIs, likely to expand the range of inclusive financial services to low-income populations.
ADA shares its expertise with other microfinance actors via the microfinance information and documentation center and the House of Microfinance. ADA builds partnerships to develop and reinforce the whole microfinance sector.
By organising events and staging awareness campaigns, ADA promotes socially responsible finance for all.
Research and Development
ADA identifies needs in the microfinance sector, and with its extensive network both in the North and in the South, tests, develops and implements microfinance products to meet these needs.
ADA shares its experiences with practitioners in the microfinance sector by means of publications and organising virtual debates but also through university teaching and research collaborations.
ADA services all tend towards the same objective: to professionalise MFIs with the view to help their autonomy.
Capacity building of MFIs
ADA believes in autonomy and thus develops tools to help microfinance institutions (MFIs) manage their activities and professionalise their services.
Training workshops and the development of new tools in partnership are main services made available to MFIs and aiming to strengthen the microfinance sector.
Information and awareness raising
ADA gives importance to information and awareness activities. The purpose is not only to send awareness-raising messages but also to help clarify different aspects of microfinance, to launch partnerships and to find new funding sources, in order to help more micro-entrepreneurs. Thanks to concrete actions the entire microfinance sector gains visibility.
