Through market facilitation, the Responsible Finance Through Local Leadership & Learning program aims to catalyze large scale systemic change around responsible finance by addressing the underlying causes of market weaknesses.

The SEEP Network believes that microfinance associations can play a pivotal role in supporting the sustainable growth of a responsible microfinance industry, and a positive reputation for the sector, through promoting the adoption and effective implementation of consumer protection principles.

What We Aim to Achieve

In collaboration with the Association of Microfinance Institutions of Rwanda (AMIR) and the Mastercard Foundation, the Responsible Finance through Local Leadership and Learning Program in Rwanda program aims to: 

• Promote an enabling environment through active engagement of all relevant stakeholders.
• Expand the organizational capacity of AMIR to serve as a sustainable and influential advocate for responsible financial market development.
• Accelerate learning and knowledge exchange within Rwanda and the Sub-Saharan Africa region

To achieve these objectives, the program employs a multi-stakeholder approach engaging all relevant actors (MFIs, regulators, government agencies, technology firms, donors, NGOs, grassroots organizations, etc.) intervening in the market to achieve progress on a sector-wide scale through a variety of activities to advance internationally recognized consumer protection principles.
