2. Why was MicroNed created?

MicroNed has been created to strengthen and coordinate the joint contribution of Development Finance Organizations in the Netherlands to the microfinance sector, so as to improve the quality of services provided, increase efficiency and effectiveness of operations and facilitate the synergy with other finance modalities by investment funds, banks and other financial institutions.

MircoNed does so within the broad policy framework of inclusive financial sectors, whereby it will increase the visibility of the Dutch offer. It envisages a joint ambition level for the longer term, in which coordination and collaboration in countries and regions, as well as on microfinance themes, play a central role.
