Aga Khan Agency for Microfinance

For more than 60 years, AKDN agencies have offered microfinance services through integrated development programmes and self-standing institutions. In 2005, these programmes were brought together under the Aga Khan Agency for Microfinance (AKAM), a non-profit foundation that operates microfinance institutions in countries across Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.

“
...creation of a growing number of viable small and medium-sized enterprises is also a sine qua non to creating jobs and to forming a strong back-bone for a stable national economy. Microfinance is a basic requirement, but it must reach down to the ultra poor and means must be found to accelerate the creation of small and medium sized enterprises keeping in mind the risk element inherent in them.

Prince Amyn Aga Khan
Istanbul, October 2009

Areas of Activity

Since then, we have helped individuals, households and small businesses across several countries to achieve financial self reliance. We have established and developed microfinance institutions offering loans to underserved populations, tailored to needs ranging from home sanitation infrastructure to livestock acquisition. Other services include opening savings accounts and handling remittances, facilitated by digital banking channels.


Over the years, these institutions have established a presence for themselves in their respective markets. As they evolve into self-supporting commercial entities, we transfer part or whole of their ownership to other agencies within or outside AKDN. We then withdraw from their operations to refocus resources towards developing new areas.
