The Foundation publishes the 2nd edition of “Prises de Parole”

The Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation has been promoting financial inclusion and social entrepreneurship for thirteen years and continues to prioritize the development of rural areas and women entrepreneurs. At the end of 2021, the Foundation had accumulated nearly €300 million in funding, 379 technical assistance missions underway or completed, and 136 organizations funded.

We are pleased to share with you this second edition of our speeches. They discuss our daily support for entrepreneurs, rural communities, refugees, and farmers. Enabling refugees in the Nakivale camp to access credit in Uganda, modernizing agricultural practices in Moldova, financing access to water, and ensuring the pay of livestock farmers in Senegal are just a few examples highlighted in this second edition.

These statements demonstrate the resilience of the microfinance sector, its ability to cope with the health crisis, economic difficulties, and the effects of global warming. Resilience also refers to the ability to transform obstacles into opportunities to strengthen oneself. The digital transformation, coordination between stakeholders, and innovation demonstrated by our partners throughout these recent difficult months clearly demonstrate this.
