FDL is a Nicaraguan nonprofit microfinance institution (MFI) that is committed to integrated service provision in rural areas where access to essential services is often limited. The organization began its activities in 1992 as part of the NITLAPAN* research institute and became its own independent entity in 1997. While the organization’s principal mission is to provide financial services to micro, small and medium entrepreneurs, it has continued to work closely with NITLAPAN to design innovative, non-financial products and services that meet the multifaceted needs of small producers.
