A group of microfinance institutions decided to get together in order to raise the efficiency and quality level of the services they rendered, and created in September 2002, the Central American Network of Micro Finance Institutions (REDCAMIF), with the participation of micro finance networks from Guatemala (REDIMIF), El Salvador (ASOMI), Honduras (REDMICROH), Nicaragua (ASOMIF) and Costa Rica (REDCOM). Recently, the Panamenian Microfinance Network (REDPAMIF) was included into REDCAMIFs network. The 98 institutions that make up REDCAMIF offer their services to 865,000 entrepreneurs, managing a 680 million dollar portfolio, of which 56% is placed in the rural sector and 68% of its clientele are women. This information places REDCAMIF as the most important micro finance network in the Central American region, reaching the poorest sectors that lack access to the big banking circuits, especially women, for whom those obstacles are greater. All of this is an important base for the several objectives presented by the network: more transparency in the sector, stimulating professionalization, access to technologies, the establishment of alliances and incidence in public policies regarding the micro financial sectors. In REDCAMIF several commission has been established, the most efficient and relevand are the Gender Commission (that also abord VIH/AIDS thematic in Microfinance), the Rural Finance Comission and the Social Performance Management Commission. There is a gender commissions in each of the national networks, stimulating in the MFIs the incorporation of financial policies and products that provide better access conditions for female clients to the financial services these organizations offer.
