The Fair's Objectives
The recent evolution of microfinance highlights the growing importance of available transparent information regarding the financial performance of MFIs.
Growth opportunities for these institutions are closely linked to their ability to mobilise resources especially among private investors.

Access to these commercial-related funds is generally linked to the availability of up-to-date and transparent financial information which facilitates the ability to check an institution’s aptitude for covering all its costs.
AMT deems it important to facilitate this link between rated African MFIs and microfinance investors and so invites both parties to attend an annual interactive investor’s fair.
