PRESS RELEASE
Paris, November 2nd 2023 - 18h30
Enda Tamweel maintains its commitment to financial governance
and renews its MSI 20000 certification
COFICERT announces that it has granted Enda Tamweel, for the 2nd consecutive time, the certification to the MSI 20000
standard, international certification standard relating to good financial governance, established by MSI OBSERVATORY
and governed internationally by the IGSF (International Group for Sustainable Finance). This performance demonstrates
the consistency of their commitment to excellence in financial management.
As a reminder, Enda Tamweel, one of the leaders and pioneers of the microfinance sector in North Africa and the Arab
world, engaged in 2020 in a rigorous process of evaluation to the MSI 20000 standard, an approach having led a few
months later to the issuance of their certification, a significant achievement for the institution.
Three years later, under the leadership of Slaheddine Ladjimi and Zmandar Mohamed, Enda Tamweel entered a second
certification cycle, once again attesting to its continued compliance with international financial quality standards.
This very important recognition further consolidates their strong positioning in the field of microfinance in the Arab
world and demonstrates their unwavering commitment to international efforts to propagate a culture of rigor,
transparency and good financial governance.
This second certificate to the MSI 20000 Standard issued by COFICERT after a complete and demanding financial
diagnosis, highlights the fact that the institution has succeeded, both, in maintaining a very efficient overall
financial quality and a balance between the two main aspects of its financial governance, namely financial strength and
performance.
The excellent results of the evaluation led by COFICERT from Paris, demonstrate a significant degree of resilience and
a real desire of Enda Tamweel to promote and improve its practices with the objective of continuous improvement of its
financial management. A very satisfactory and encouraging assessment from Enda Tamweel despite an unstable economic and
financial context.
Souheil Skander and Cristian Mocanu, respectively representatives of CFC Partners and COFICERT France, officially
presented the MSI 20000 certificate of conformity under the supervision of The IGSF - International Group for
Sustainable Finance, in the presence of the General Management, Financial Management and Compliance Department of ENDA
Tamweel.
