Project Overview

The European Programme for Employment and Social Innovation (henceforth "EaSI") aims to foster employment and social inclusion in Europe by boosting access to, and the availability of, microfinance for micro-enterprises and vulnerable people who wish to start-up or develop their own micro-enterprise.

To reach this goal and expand financial access in Europe, the Programme envisions capacity building for public and private financial service providers (FSPs) within the microfinance sector to improve their operations and widen their outreach.

EaSI Programme Coverage

EaSI Programme Coverage

Within EaSI Technical Assistance, Frankfurt School and its consortium partners have provided tailored trainings to over 1,300 staff from more than 80 FSPs, as well as strengthened their institutional capacity and helped prepare organisations for compliance with the European Code of Good Conduct for Microcredit Provision. In 2019, the EaSI Programme also started offering investment readiness trainings to prepare FSPs to access funding from the European Investment Fund and other investors.

To further strengthen the European microfinance sector and facilitate the exchange and dissemination of good practices, the EaSI Technical Assistance team has organised more than 130 events: workshops and seminars, peer-to-peer trainings, study visits and web sessions.

These events have served more than more than 3,700 representatives of financial service providers, regulators, NGOs and other stakeholders from the European microfinance sector.

Qredits is proud to be the first European microfinance institution to receive the certificate for compliance with the Code of Good Conduct. We encourage other microcredit providers to implement the Code of Good Conduct in order to bring the alternative financing sector to a higher level professionally and for our joint interests to be represented well at a European level. We are grateful also for the guarantees and programmes made available through the European Commission in support of this sector and feel it is only fair to have to meet the requirements of the Code in order to continue benefitting from these programmes.

EaSI TA was very useful for good.bee Credit and it addressed a series of areas that need improvement from which, we and our clients will benefit in the long run. These areas included Good Governance, Social Performance, Improvement of staff operational efficiency, Sales skills for loan officers and Credit analysis for micro-clients in the agro sector. We considered it to be a success and as a proof of that good.bee Credit applied for the second Call as well.

The training we received vie EaSI TA was far above our expectations. It gave us useful knowledge and skills that will help us in the future to do our job even more professionally and to fulfil the requirements of the EaSI TA programme. Both trainers were very experienced, gave us very useful advice in the areas of Good Governance, Social Performance, Investors’ Relations and Strategic Planning. In addition, they noted our weaknesses and helped us specify additional areas of improvement for our organization.

The Technical Assistance we received was very useful – we really appreciate the flexible approach of Frankfurt School and fi-compass with regards to our needs. The training fully addressed the specific requirements of PerMicro in the areas of Branch and HR management, Credit management and Communication and Marketing. The training also helped discover some other weaknesses and space for improvement, which we would like to deal with in 2017. PerMicro has adopted as daily routine all the skills and knowledge delivered in the training.
