Deutsches Mikrofinanz Institut (DMI) was formed by 50 microfinance actors who recognized the need for a common, nationwide structure to develop a sustainable microfinance solution in Germany. Its central mission is to ensure responsible and high quality provision of microloans so that the offered products meet the needs of customers and support their personal and financial development.

This good practice aims at establishing a successful partnership model that allows for the disbursement of microloans in countries where the regulatory framework does not allow microfinance institutions (MFIs) to disburse loans and therefore, requires cooperation with other actors.
