WEBINAR: The ATLAS platform for agricultural financing

Thank you all for attending the our webinar: "The ATLAS platform: features and tools of a new source of data for agricultural financing", organized by the FAO Technical Network on Sustainable Food Value Chains - Development & Finance (SFVC D&F) with MicroFinanza Rating (MFR) and the Appui au Développement Autonome (ADA).

Data on agriculture financing may be difficult to find. ATLAS offers potential to manage data analytics on agriculture financing from several sources. In addition to financial and social metrics on Financial Service Providers with agriculture portfolios, ATLAS offer agile technology to develop additional, dedicated modules to meet specific needs. 

ATLAS is a new data platform launched in 2020, after the end of the MIX market microfinance data collection activities. The initiative is managed by MFR, a rating agency specialized in serving the bottom of the pyramid in emerging markets.  

ATLAS development was initially sponsored by AFD, Proparco, CDC, ADA, SIDA and LED. Today, ATLAS employs a sustainable business model based on investors’ subscriptions (10+ to date) and data management projects (e.g. CGAP Global Microfinance survey on the impact of COVID19; GOGLA, IFC and CGAP data modules for PAYGo Off-Grid Solar companies).
