Africa Board Fellowship

The Africa Board Fellowship (ABF) is a four year effort launched in 2014 to engage board members and CEOs of African microfinance institutions in peer learning and exchange and strengthen the governance of financial institutions serving low-income clients in sub-Saharan Africa. ABF has engaged Grassroots as the lead expert in three of five focus areas including Board responsibilities and dynamics, strategies for managing high growth, and responding to competitive and challenging environments. Grassroots is developing tools and selecting briefing material and will facilitate a series of participant-led discussion and learning groups.
