Welcome to the website of the Association of Micro-finances Institutions in Rwanda(AMIR).
We are now eight years operational. We always remember the time when 32 MFIs came together to start this association, it was a humble beginning and after 8 years AMIR’s work is built on a solid foundation that was laid by its members with a mission of becoming a strong and efficient organization that offers diversified services to MFIs and to the sector at large that enable them to work professionally and contribute efficiently to poverty reduction in a sustainable manner.
Since 2014, AMIR has seen its membership increasing with the recruitment of Imirenge SACCOs as members. Now AMIR has 331 members including Microfinance banks, Microfinance limited companies, NGOs that are promoting Microfinance and Imirenge SACCOs.
It’s again my sincere hope that we will work with everyone in 2015 to achieve more results as we enter the third year of our new five years strategic plan; 2013-2018.
We are very grateful to all our partners and friends in and out of Rwanda for their constant support and encouragement.
I thank you all for your continued support.
