Partners
The EU/ACP Microfinance Programme has teamed up with strategic and specialised partners in the microfinance sector for the implementation of this Programme in order to pool resources, leverage funds and achieve better results. One of our key partners is the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP), a multi-donor consortium working to build inclusive financial systems. The Programme contributes to the development of CGAP services and products for microfinance actors in ACP countries and CGAP has seconded one of its staff members to coordinate the programme.
