AMA

Afghanistan Microfinance Association (AMA) is the National Network of Financial Development Institutions in Afghanistan. It was created by microfinance practitioners (MISFA, MISFA partner MFIs and other stakeholders) in 2005. Registered in 2007, AMA is dedicated to reducing poverty in Afghanistan through the promotion of a sustainable microfinance sector. The association's aim is to create a favorable environment in Afghanistan, in which institutions/projects promoting development finance can thrive. The association also aims to promote, support, strengthen and offer appropriate support to institutions involved in developmental finance.

AMA’s strength today stands at eight microfinance and other development finance institutions. AMA members form a diverse group of service providers and include Microfinance Institutions as well as Cooperatives and other Community-based Savings Promoting Institutions.
