Launch of the Microfinance Advocacy Committee 

We are pleased to announce that the Microfinance Centre and the European Microfinance Network  are launching a new Microfinance Advocacy Committee, jointly chaired by both networks. 

We are looking for candidates of MFC and EMN member organisations working on microfinance in the European Union to join the new Microfinance Advocacy Committee. We are looking for committed practitioners who wish to actively contribute to strengthening the sector’s advocacy strategies and activities. 

The Microfinance Advocacy Committee aims to reinforce advocacy efforts in the microfinance sector by: 

• sharing expertise and practical experience, 

• providing feedback, and 

• developing common strategies. 

It also seeks to improve communication, impact and visibility of the sector by fostering dialogue with policymakers and representing the sector’s needs with evidence. 

Objectives of the Committee 

The Committee will: 

• build common positions on the sector’s main concerns and challenges, 

• increase visibility of microfinance and its results, and 

• strengthen collaboration between practitioners, policymakers, and public investors. 

More details on the Committee’s purpose, objectives, composition, functioning, and selection process can be found in the Terms of Reference. 

Application deadline: 11 May 2026 

We strongly encourage interested members to apply and contribute to strengthening the collective voice of the microfinance sector in Europe, by submitting CV along with the completed application form to Beata@mfc.org.pl and m.vial@european-microfinance.org.
