Microcred Mali finances microentrepreneurs and small-scale entrepreneurs who have difficulty accessing basic financial products and services via the traditional banking sector. PROPARCO’s operation will provide access to microcredit for some 14,000 new clients, 40% being women, for a financing volume increased by EUR 4.3m.
