ABOUT US

The DAAD Alumni CCAM was established in 2011, just one year after the first cohort graduated under the recommendation of DAAD and supervision of Frankfurt School of Finance and Management. This initiative emerged as a multidisciplinary community of young activists and researchers, founded to amplify youth voices in Microfinance to enhance the economic development of sub-Saharan Africa and strengthen its battle against poverty and deprivation. The initiative aims to track market evolution and ensure curriculum adequacy according to industry needs, while fostering valuable networking between current students and alumni through coaching, mentoring, and advisory relationships.

VISION

To ensure the CCAM program maintains its exceptional quality and sustainability even after funding cessation, while fostering a dynamic community of microfinance professionals who drive economic development across sub-Saharan Africa through innovative financial solutions.
