The FPM is an institution created in 2010 under the initiative of UNDP, UNCDF, KFW, World Bank, German Cooperation and Swedish Cooperation. Its mission is to promote financial inclusion in the DRC, by technically and financially supporting financial institutions that target micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and low-income working populations in particular. The ultimate goal of the FPM is to reduce poverty and improve the living conditions of the people in DR Congo. Thus the FPM aims to support the construction and development of an inclusive financial system. To maximize its impact on the sector, the FPM adopts a policy of Selective investment aimed at supporting institutions that have a real potential to serve the MSME segments with rigor and professionalism. To achieve its objectives the FPM has two vehicles: the FPM ASBL is a non-profit association that offers technical assistance to financial institutions and FPM SA, a financial company, aggregated by the Central Bank offers refinancing to financial institutions.
