MicroFinance Transparency works with a range of stakeholder groups to promote transparency by facilitating microfinance pricing disclosure, offering policy advisory services and developing training and education materials for all market stakeholders. We partner with other client protection initiatives such as the Social Performance Task Force (SPTF) and the Smart Campaign to provide microfinance institutions with a venue for demonstrating their commitment to responsible pricing. Our vision is a microfinance industry operating with healthy free market conditions where consumers and other stakeholders can make informed decisions.

The Transparent Pricing Initiative in Ethiopia is an opportunity for institutions in this market to demonstrate their commitment to social performance and client protection on an international stage. Alexandra Fiorillo, Vice President of MFTransparency, will make a presentation at the 5th Annual African Microfinance Conference in Addis Ababa on September 20th  where she will share the new industry standard for calculating prices for microcredit products with the leading microfinance service providers in Ethiopia. More information about the launch event is available here, and more information about the conference is available here.

MFTransparency would like to thank the Association of Ethiopian Microfinance Institutions (AEMFI) for their contribution to the launch event and their ongoing support in this Initiative.
