FinMark Trust (FMT) is an independent, non-profit trust established in 2002 with initial funding from the UK's Department for International Development (DFID). Its core mission is "Making financial markets work for the poor." FMT achieves this by promoting financial inclusion and development across Sub-Saharan Africa through a combination of research, evidence-based policy advocacy, and facilitating the development of innovative financial solutions. The organization works with policymakers, regulators, and the private sector to create a more inclusive financial environment for low-income households and small businesses.
