Centre for microFinance (CmF)
Centre for microFinance (CmF) (www.cmfraj.org) is a not-for-profit organization registered under the Rajasthan Societies Act, 1958 and set up jointly by development practitioners, Tata Trusts, academicians and key stakeholders from government and banks in the year 2007.
It was conceptualized as a resource organization to catalyse the growth of the community-based microfinance (Self-Help Group model) and rural livelihoods in Rajasthan. Training and capacity building of community institutions, government and non-government agencies, research and knowledge dissemination and direct implementation have been the key functions of CmF to achieve its objective. Over time, based on the emerging needs of the communities and the macro-level changes –such as rollout of flagship programs of central and state government, CmF has continued to adapt its role and programmatic coverage. Beginning 2015, CmF expanded its domain from microfinance and agriculture and allied livelihoods to include education, skilling, nutrition and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).
Currently, in the space of Water, CmF is focusing on sustainability of the access to water for drinking and agriculture purposes. CmF has implemented community-managed drinking water in 200 villages followed by water security programs in Sirohi and Pali districts, covering over 350 villages. The water security project includes developing village water budgets and water security plans, constructing and renovating water harvesting structures, promoting micro irrigation, and building capacities of local community leaders, VWSC and Panchayat.
