AMIR as the umbrella of MICROFINANCE Institutions in Rwanda has considered gender through all financial inclusion programs implemented by AMIR. Specific programs were implemented for women such as VSLAs by AMIR own resources or with the partnerships like the one of CARE International, OXFAM, Aflatoun, Rabobank, AFR, DFID.
AMIR emphasises on human rights but through its mission of supporting the professional development and initiates of the microfinance sector in Rwanda, AMIR also developed the Code of conduct and client protection principles for its members and this CoC is being implemented with the promotion of client protection principles.
AMIR’s first mission is to ensure advocacy for the Microfinance Sector practitioners towards rules and regulations and limitations that can affect both investors in and beneficiaries of the microfinance sector. In this line, the recent general Assembly of AMIR adopted the Microfinance sector coordination with emphasis on controlling all activities related to financial Inclusion in AMIR members in sense of quality and achievements for reporting and harmonization purposes and this will help both government partners’ initiatives to effectively perform programs and efficiency.
