Establishment

The Association of Ethiopian Microfinance Institutions (AEMFI)

The Association of Ethiopian Microfinance Institutions was established as a non-for-profit, non-governmental association of the Ethiopian microfinance Institutions which are formed as per Proclamation 40/1996 and regulated by the National Bank Ethiopian.

It was registered and licensed as such on 28th June, 1999 by the Ministry of Justice of the Federal Government of Ethiopia. The original goals were for it to serve as a platform for knowledge and information sharing, and lobby for political support for the development of an enabling environment for the business of microfinance.

Since its formation, AEMFI’s goals and activities have broadened to include training, research, performance monitoring and benchmarking and provision of technical assistance. Regionally, AEMFI is the strongest of the country level networks in Africa.

Currently AEMFI has more than 50 members MFIs providing microfinance services in the areas of credit delivery, saving, money transfer, and pension payment services in all regions of Ethiopia.
