Convinced that microfinance is an important tool for poverty alleviation, the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs – Directorate for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs launched the European Microfinance Award in 2005 to promote microfinance initiatives and highlight their contribution to the development of the sector.
This year’s European Microfinance Award “Microfinance for Housing” is intended to highlight the role of microfinance in supporting access to better quality residential housing for low income, vulnerable and excluded groups, with no or limited access to housing finance in the mainstream sector.
The prize of €100,000 will be presented on 30th November 2017 during the European Microfinance Week in Luxembourg in a ceremony held at the European Investment Bank.
