Microfinanza is pleased to present its latest Activity Report
2nd september 2025
In 2024, Microfinanza continued to place local development, sustainability, and environmental responsibility at the core of its mission. This year we chose to present a more dynamic, concise Activity Report, designed to highlight the most significant achievements, numbers and results of our work.
Our efforts focused on key geographical areas. In Tunisia, we worked alongside entrepreneurs and investors in the agri-food sector, fostering innovation and sustainable local ecosystems. In Sudan, despite the difficult context, we supported entrepreneurs—particularly women, cooperatives, and Village Savings and Loan Associations—by creating tangible opportunities for resilience and economic empowerment. In Europe, we promoted cross-border mobility and growth of young entrepreneurs, encouraging exchange, innovation, and new opportunities. In parallel, we delivered training and capacity-building programmes in our main areas of intervention, and provided technical assistance and rigorous evaluations of innovative financial schemes in Senegal, Cameroon, and Ethiopia.
Throughout 2024, Microfinanza engaged in evaluations of programmes promoted by international donors, with the aim of identifying best practices and translating lessons learned into actionable recommendations.
By focusing on concrete data and measurable impact indicators, we aim to give evidence of how our daily work, Microfinanza contributes to social and economic empowerment, while confirming our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability.
We believe that financial inclusion requires experimenting with new models to address the needs of diverse population groups, whose demands are constantly evolving in increasingly fragmented social contexts, where poverty and lack of services make people ever more vulnerable.
Financial inclusion must therefore embrace new challenges; it must be able to put people at the center in an environment that increasingly requires protection from the evident effects of climate change, while seeking to promote an adequate range of financial products and non-financial services.
