The Association pursues the following objectives:

To promote and defend the collective interests of its members;
To foster cooperation among members;
To provide training for members;
To organize and manage services of common interest to its members;
To inform the public about the activities and initiatives undertaken within the framework of its mission.

The Professional Association of Decentralized Financial Systems of Burkina Faso (APSFD-BF) aims to defend the material and moral interests of the profession and strengthen the capacities of its members by offering quality services tailored to their needs.

“To be an association of excellence in Africa, defending the interests of its members while offering them innovative and adapted services within a framework of financial inclusion.”
