Update from Kiva

ACODE Finance came onto the Kiva website in May 2007 after going through Kiva’s due diligence process at the time. Prior to funds being sent to the organization, Kiva learned that one of ACODE Finance’s major funders was pulling out, though it was difficult to tell whether this was a result of organizational concerns or country problems. As a result, Kiva decided that the remaining evidence on ACODE’s Kiva partnership application was insufficient to support moving forward with the partnership and refunded all loans. No funds were ever sent to ACODE and the partnership was closed in July 2007 without prejudice.
