The slowdown in economic activity linked to the COVID-19 health crisis has plunged many countries into recession and, as a result, is undermining the financial stability of microfinance institutions.
In this context, ADA has launched a response programme to help its partners get through the crisis and ensure the continuity of their activities.
ADA, Inpulse and the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation have joined forces to closely monitor and analyse the effects of the COVID-19 crisis among their partners around the world.
Luxembourg / Munich - 2 November 2020. Governments and insurance companies must increase efforts to help millions of low-income people, households and businesses cope with the impacts of the Covid crisis and climate change - or risk exacerbating wealth and social gaps in emerging economies and undermining political and financial system stability.
New interview on October 27th at 12 am on the situation in the world by the LMDF fund.
The Luxembourg fund presents a series of videos on the impact of COVID-19 in the countries where ADA and LMDF operate. The pandemic has certainly changed the way we live here in Luxembourg, but what happens in countries where poverty rates are higher and the informal economy dominates? This series of interviews looks at how micro-entrepreneurs are coping with this changing world.

In April 2020, ADA launched a support programme for partner MFIs to face the epidemic. The burkinabe MFI GRAINE shares its feedback on ADA’s support.
The objective of the COVID-19 response programme is to support ADA's partner MFIs by offering them, on the one hand, technical assistance and tools to facilitate the management of their operations in the context of the epidemic and, on the other hand, subsidies for the purchase of sanitary material or equipment to enable the continuity of their activities. A total of EUR 1 022 814 was granted for this purpose.
