Rural Microfinance Fund

Rural Microfinance Fund is a fund focused on investing in rural microfinance in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is the first equity fund designed to support and structure this underserved market.

When CIDR and PAMIGA first started their operations, there were no MFIs and only limited infrastructure in rural Africa.
Nowadays, a number of microfinance insitutions have demonstrated their ability to operate in rural areas. These successful MFIs benefit from a strong client base and deep knowledge of their operating environment, which can only be developed through time and experience.

PAMIGA is convinced that, through additional marginal investments, these MFIs can be significantly scaled up.

Rural Microfinance Fund will build on the strengths of these existing and successful MFIs by investing mostly through direct equity ownerhip in rural medium MFIs.

Typical investors in Rural Microfinance Fund are private organisations, wealthy individuals, foundations or development financial institutions.
