ASIGMA’s Managing Director, David Nanambi Wakyiku, and Business Development Manager (Rwanda) Caleb Tumusiime held a meeting with Jack Kwikiriza, the Executive Director of AMIR (Association of Microfinance Institutions in Rwanda).

AMIR represents over 460 organisational members, including microfinance institutions and SACCOs across Rwanda, working to improve access to financial services for underserved communities. The meeting aimed to explore potential collaboration in key areas such as data management, fund management and digitisation to strengthen Rwanda’s financial inclusion landscape.

During the discussions, both parties identified synergies in their missions, with ASIGMA offering its expertise in data-driven solutions, fund management and technology services. AMIR, through its extensive network of microfinance institutions, plays a critical role in supporting Rwanda’s financial ecosystem by empowering communities with access to financial services. By aligning their efforts, ASIGMA and AMIR aim to enhance financial sustainability, transparency and efficiency within the sector.

Key areas of potential collaboration include improving the digitisation of financial services for microfinance institutions, enhancing data management systems for better decision-making, and exploring innovative fund management strategies. Both ASIGMA and AMIR see this as an opportunity to contribute to Rwanda’s national development goals by leveraging technology and financial expertise to drive inclusion and economic growth. Future engagements are expected to further define specific projects and initiatives.
