The Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation is proud to celebrate its partner Advans Ivory Coast, which emerged as the big winner of the second edition of the National Microfinance Days (JNM) held on June 25 and 26, 2026 in Abidjan. The microfinance institution won five prestigious awards recognizing its development strategy and economic impact:

✅ Responsible Finance Award – celebrating its ethical practices and customer protection
✅ Rural Finance Award – welcoming its direct support for the agricultural sector
✅ Institutional Transparency Award – reflecting its commitment to governance
A real impact in service of rural women
Behind these five awards lies a concrete and measurable impact. Thanks to our partnership with Advans Côte d'Ivoire, we support women farmers who are strengthening their agricultural activities and developing their businesses. With tailored support, combining credit, savings, and insurance, they improve their harvests, save more, and actively participate in the development of their communities.
When a woman gains economic independence, her entire family and village benefit. 💪
