History

The Pakistan Microfinance Network (PMN) evolved in late 1997 from an informal effort of several Pakistani attendees of the Microcredit Summit in February 1997.

The Microfinance Group Pakistan (MFG-P) was created in 1999 and first received funding from the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) and The Asia Foundation (TAF). The MFG-P matured and established greater credibility with donors, Government, and other microfinance practitioners. It was registered under Section 42 of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 as a legal entity as the Pakistan Microfinance Network in April 2001.
