Following previous deliberations and an MOU signed from last year, ASIGMA and the Association of Microfinance Institutions in Rwanda (AMIR) held a follow-up strategic meeting to deepen collaboration and explore further opportunities for leveraging technology across AMIR’s operational landscape.
The meeting was attended by AMIR’s Executive Director, Mr. Jackson Kwikiriza and ASIGMA’s management led by the ASIGMA Managing Director, Mr. David N. Wakyiku. The discussions were focused on solidifying a shared vision to support the digitisation of Rwanda’s microfinance sector and enhance financial inclusion for underserved communities.
As their digital transformation partner, ASIGMA is currently working with AMIR to improve their internal technology infrastructure and design a Management Information System to digitise their information flow.
Deepening a shared commitment in enabling access to finance
This engagement with the AMIR’s Executive Director builds on the foundation initially laid, reaffirming the commitment of both entities to leverage technology and innovation as catalysts for sector-wide transformation, especially in access to finance programs.
Mr. Jackson Kwikiriza expressed his appreciation for the distinctiveness of ASIGMA’s service offerings and acknowledged its impressive, technology-driven portfolio. He also conveyed his enthusiasm for collaborating with ASIGMA on various initiatives and affirmed his commitment to fostering further strategic partnerships.
ASIGMA Managing Director, Mr. David N. Wakyiku, expressed his sincere appreciation for Mr. Kwikiriza’s visit and reaffirmed ASIGMA’s commitment to developing solutions that deliver real-world value and lasting impact.
Towards a Technology-Driven Pan-African Collaboration
As this partnership grows, ASIGMA and AMIR remain committed to empowering microfinance institutions with the tools and capabilities needed to thrive in a dynamic economic environment and deliver technology-driven impact.
This collaboration further reflects ASIGMA’s commitment to embracing Pan-African partnerships in driving large-scale impact across the continent and expanding the reach of inclusive financial solutions.
