 Welcome
This website provides information on Micro Finance in Nepal. It is produced and maintained by the Centre for Micro-Finance, Nepal (CMF). Center for Microfinance (CMF) was established in July 2000 to strengthen the capacity of microfinance institutions and enable them to provide savings, credit and other financial services to the poorest-of-the-poor families, especially women. CMF runs a wide range of programs designed to meet the emerging needs of microfinance institutions. To promote the microfinance sector, CMF engages in training, technical assistance, consultancy services, research, knowledge management, publication and documentation, dissemination of best practices and networking in partnership with national and international organizations. CMF's Articles of Association 13 (f) states that the surplus earned by the organization shall not be distributed as dividends to the shareholders. Rather, such profits shall be deployed for the development of microfinance sector and poverty alleviation programs and CMF shall remain a not-for-profit organization. Originally, CMF was a project implemented by Canadian Centre for International Studies and Cooperation (CECI) funded by USAID and Ford Foundation. CMF is now an autonomous, privately owned Nepali organization that works to strengthen MF sector in Nepal and in the region.
