At Advans, we know that accurately assessing the impact of our services on our clients is essential to measuring our success and continuously improving our offerings to better meet their needs.<\/p>\n

To tackle this challenge, Advans has been collaborating since 2022 with<\/span> 60_Decibels<\/a><\/span>, a research firm specializing in the collection and analysis of social impact data for international microfinance institutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 2024, for the first time, our six African subsidiaries participated in 60_Decibels’ international Microfinance Index (MFI Index). More than 1,700 of our clients were surveyed, allowing us to obtain a representative and diverse sample of our client portfolios, ensuring reliable and accurate data.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

The consolidated analysis of the results shows a significant impact of Advans on entrepreneurs in improving access to financial services<\/span> for entrepreneurship in Africa.<\/p>\n

In 2024, 61% of our clients accessed financial services for the first time thanks to Advans, a rate higher than the global IIF benchmark (58%) and reaching even 70% in the Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n

These figures highlight the relevance of our microcredit products in Africa to meet the financial inclusion needs of our clients, 49% of whom believe they do not have good alternatives of micro lending in Africa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The loan was my lifeline. It allowed me to pay my workers’ salaries, ensure their support for another season, buy more livestock, and plant new crops. Thanks to these investments, I became more comfortable and able to cover all my expenses.<\/em><\/p>\n
