Microfinance Investment and Support Facility for Afghanistan
Under the Microfinance Investment and Support Facility for Afghanistan (MISFA), a multi-donor apex facility in Kabul, Banyan Global helped microfinance institutions (MFIs) and other non-bank financial service providers expand their products and services to rural areas. As onsite technical service provider, we assisted with structuring linkages between business development service providers and MFIs, supporting and training MFIs on market research and new product development, and establishing management information systems for tracking rural credit. Banyan Global partnered with the Aga Khan Development Network, BRAC, the Cooperative Housing Foundation, MADERA, and several other NGOs engaged in rural finance in Afghanistan.
