The Africa Microfinance Network "AFMIN" is an association of microfinance networks in Africa resulting from an initiative led by African microfinance practitioners to create and strengthen country-level microfinance networks for the purpose of establishing shared performance standards, institutional capacity and policy change.

AFMIN was formally launched in November 2000 and has established its Secretariat in Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire), where AFMIN is legally recognized as an international Non-Governmental Organisation pursuant to Ivorian laws.

Because of the political unrest in Côte d’Ivoire, AFMIN temporarily relocated its office to Cotonou in Benin and represented in 21 countries.

AFMIN seeks to provide effective, sustainable financial services to Africa’s low income population by supporting national networks/MFIs and helping them achieve their mission and objectives to alleviate Poverty in africa, and helping to improve the microfinance environment in the region and globally.
