CFI

The World Bank (WB), Rabo Foundation and Rabo Partnerships (Rabo) are collaborating in a program rooted on their shared vision of the potential of Cooperative Financial Institutions in countries where stakeholders are aligned to build a strong sector under a solid supervision. Given their member-based ownership, governance and proximity, CFIs can deliver financial services to segments of the population that are not reached by formal financial institutions such as smallholder farmers, agricultural MSMEs and rural households. The program aims to support the sound development of CFIs backed by a regulatory and supervisory framework that is aligned with that applicable to banks and other financial institutions of similar size and complexity... The Center aims to foster the exchange of concrete experiences, research and resources between CFI professionals related to the oversight, regulation, modernization, and strengthening of these social enterprises.
