The primary objective of Gateway is to mobilize a critical mass of resources to facilitate the transformation of microfinance institutions "MFIs" into formal financial intermediaries (Bank or Non-bank). These transformations make it possible for microfinance institutions to expand the depth and range of the microfinance services they provide, accessing local capital markets and mobilizing savings. The formation of a special purpose investment fund provides great flexibility in designing and executing the financial instruments that Gateway will use to achieve its objectives. A key component of the Fund's success will be the ability to have formal participation on the MFIs Boards, thereby participating in strengthening governance.
