di Zesst
After the recent partnership with BNP, one of the leading French banks, ADIE ? the main non profit microcredit organisation ? signed an innovative agreement with the group ?Banque populaire ” in December 2006.

The Banque populaire, a big French banking network stemming from the social economy, will make available volunteeering staff to ADIE in order to alleviate its running costs, but also to spur a new culture of partnership between different actors on entrepreneurship.
As stated by the January press communniqué, ?this essential contribution will allow the reinforcing of synergies … around two common values : solidarity and proximity ?.
