ISCAM Business School and the Professional Association of Microfinance Institutions (APIMF) sealed, on Friday January 23, 2026, at the Ankadifotsy campus, a partnership agreement marking an important step in the rapprochement between the academic world and that of inclusive finance. With its 35 years of experience, ISCAM has always set itself the mission of strengthening the employability of its students by relying on experts from academic and professional circles. For its part, the APIMF, which brings together microfinance institutions approved by the CSBF, works to professionalize the sector and promote common performance standards. This partnership, described as non-exclusive and balanced, reflects a shared desire for co-development and knowledge transfer. The two entities intend to collaborate in key areas such as higher education, applied research, career guidance and support for business creation. The main axes concern the pooling of training programs, the sharing of expertise and the promotion of intellectual contributions. Through this alliance, ISCAM and APIMF aim to create a solid bridge between the needs of the market and the skills of young graduates, while supporting the growth of microfinance and entrepreneurship in Madagascar.
