4 About Tanmeyah: Jordan Microfinance Network Tanmeyah - was established and formally registered as a nonprofit institution at the Ministry of Industry and Trade in 2007 and was incepted to become the official representative for the microfinance institutions (MFIs), replacing the Microfinance Association of Jordan (MAJ), which was operating at that time. The Network s main objective is to develop a sustainable microfinance industry that will become an integral part of the national financial system in Jordan. It will play an active role in supporting the further development of the microfinance industry, providing advocacy and awareness rising on behalf of its members, promoting information and dissemination of developments and trends in the industry. Most importantly it will support the implementation of an appropriate regulatory environment, and will gather performance and benchmarking data for the sector. Microfinance in Jordan: The sector was formed in 1994 with the launch of a pilot lending scheme in Amman. Today, the industry is comprised of seven professionally run institutions that follow world class lending practices and are self-sustainable, meaning they do not rely on grants or subsidies for continuity. Initially the sector focused primarily on group and business purpose lending but, based on demand, has evolved significantly to include individual enabling and supporting loans and products such as educational loans, life insurance and business development services concentrating on productive households and low income segment quality of living. Microfinance has proved to be a powerful and effective tool in empowering Jordan s entrepreneurial poor to increase their family income and contribute to socio-economic growth. Tanmeyah s members prove their capability to grow on sustainable and solid bases envisioned through strong operational performance and the sustainability of the services provided. 4

5 Members of Tanmeyah: Tanmeyah is structured from the following active members (randomly order): VITAS JORDAN. Micro Fund for Women. Jordan Micro Credit Company Tamweelcom. National Microfinance Bank Al Watani. Ahli Micro Finance Company. FINCA Jordan. UNRWA Microfinance Department. Ethmar for Islamic Finance. Members Profile: VITAS JORDAN: Vitas Jordan originated as a continuation of the 1998 Cooperative Agreement signed between Global Communities (formerly CHF International) and USAID to establish the Southern Jordan Access to Credit Project (SJACP). The purpose of the project was to provide microfinance lending services to the residents of the southern Governorates of Jordan over a period of five years, as well as building an interactive capacity with the formal financial institutions through risk-sharing partnerships with commercial banks. In response to the local community needs, the vision of transforming the project into a sustainable local corporate entity was finally realized, culminating with the registration of MEMCC (Middle East Micro Credit Company) as a Limited Liability Non-Profit Company in January While MEMCC has achieved much in its 10 years, we feel that it is no longer the right structure to keep up with the growing and changing needs of our clients. To position ourselves to make a more lasting impact as we grow, MEMCC has joined the Vitas Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary company of Global Communities. With this move, MEMCC becomes Vitas Jordan in name and in values, but still remains true to its founding purpose: to make a difference in our communities by bringing financial opportunities to those who are not well-served by traditional banks or lenders.
