International Level: Microfinance for Female Entrepreneurship 

MFC is expanding its reach by engaging with microfinance stakeholders and showcasing the vital role of microfinance in financing female entrepreneurs. According to the publication ‘Missing Entrepreneurs 2021’, 9 million people in the EU and 35 million across OECD countries could start businesses if given equal opportunities, with almost 7 million in the EU and approximately 26 million across OECD being women. As part of this year’s effort, MFC will carry out communication activities at the international level, promoting examples of women entrepreneurs served by MFC Members. MFC will collaborate with partners to gather and highlight these amazing stories, demonstrating the transformative impact of microfinance in empowering women entrepreneurs. 

On the international level, your participation supports the recognition of microfinance in bridging the gender gap for female entrepreneurs and building visibility for the sector. 

Local Level: Borrow Wisely 2.0

MFC has revised and updated materials promoting responsible borrowing practices and client protection standards. Additionally, new graphics and an exciting new digital component have been introduced to enhance accessibility and assist clients with digitalization. This component includes valuable advice and recommendations about tools that empower businesses to thrive in the digital era. It provides guidance on optimizing client reach, promoting products and services, and offering convenient payment options. 

By participating in the campaign, your organization can demonstrate its commitment to responsible lending and customer care. Your involvement will contribute to the industry’s overall reputation and showcase your institution as a reliable lender.
