Interview with Carolina VIGUET, Director of Communication & Partnerships, FGCA<\/strong>
\nProduced by: Mireille de Kerleau, Communications Manager, CACEIS<\/strong><\/h5>\n

1. A few words about the Grameen Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Foundation?<\/h4>\n

The Foundation was founded in 2008 by Cr\u00e9dit Agricole and Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, who founded the world's first microfinance bank in Bangladesh. Our mission is to combat poverty through financial inclusion and impact entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

Concretely, we will finance and support, with technical assistance missions, microfinance institutions and social enterprises that primarily serve women and rural populations in Africa, Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n

2. What is the Solidarity Bankers program?<\/h4>\n

Solidarity Bankers is part of this technical assistance offering. It's a skills-based volunteering program launched by the Grameen Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Foundation and Cr\u00e9dit Agricole SA in 2018, open to all Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Group employees, entities, and regional banks, for the benefit of organizations funded by the Foundation.<\/p>\n

These are two-week pro bono field missions or longer remote missions carried out by one or two Cr\u00e9dit Agricole employees to support an organization funded by the Foundation with a specific need. This may involve developing a business plan for a new project, establishing a marketing plan for the organization's next three years, or strengthening the financial plan of the beneficiary company.<\/p>\n

3. Who can be a Solidarity Banker?<\/h4>\n

All employees of Cr\u00e9dit Agricole and Regional Banks entities in France and internationally. However, there is one essential condition: solid expertise in the subject of the assignment. We have all types of profiles; Directors and Senior profiles, as well as employees with two to three years of experience who are still experts in the subject of the assignment.<\/p>\n

4. How does the device work?<\/h4>\n

I would say there are 4 steps:<\/p>\n

STEP 1. DETERMINE THE MISSION AND SELECT THE SOLIDARITY BANKER<\/strong><\/p>\n
