Welcome
Welcome to the website of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Microfinance/ Microcredit (APPG on Microfinance/Microcredit).
The purpose of the Group is to raise awareness of microfinance/microcredit and the role it can play in reducing poverty, particularly in the developing world. As such, the Group also provides a Parliamentary forum for discussion on new developments and current debates in the field of microfinance.
The Group currently has almost 50 members, from both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, representing the main political parties.
The APPG on Microfinance/Microcredit is fortunate to be represented by a fully supportive group of Officers, each committed to raising the political profile of microfinance:
- Chair – Annette Brooke MP
- Vice Chair – Tom Levitt MP
- Secretary – John Barrett MP
- Treasurer – Robert Syms MP
