About ImpaktEU

ImpaktEU is a new instrument designed to bridge microfinance market gaps through the combined strength of the EMN and MFC networks.

ImpaktEU will be structurally sustainable, to allow the provision of long-term support to microfinance providers. It will act as an interface for public and private investors in microfinance, to serve the unmet demand and the specific needs of the smaller players. These needs may range from financial and non-financial support to operational know-how.

ImpaktEU also aims at becoming the one-stop shop for these smaller players regarding access to funding, technical assistance, grants etc.

The mission of ImpaktEU will complement existing instruments.
