Welcome to the Microfinance Toolkit, an interactive guide to help microfinance professionals achieve more social impact. UPDATE: See link below for the new improved version launched in May 2026.
Why measuring and improving impact matters for microfinance
Every day throughout Europe, microfinance providers help disadvantaged people start and stay in business. They make a vital contribution to employment among vulnerable groups, as well as to sustainable local development.
If you are a microfinance provider and are seeking to enhance the social impact of your work, then CEB's Microfinance Toolkit is for you. Created with InvestEU support, this interactive toolkit launched in October 2025 is designed to help you assess, plan and act with greater visibility and confidence. Try it now by hitting the Start button below. As well as instructions, insights, data and case studies, you will find contact information: your feedback to help us improve the toolkit would be very welcome. For more background on the toolkit and microfinance work at the CEB, please contact Kristina.Maslauskaite@coebank.org
