Overview

The Stichting ATMS was established in 1996 by IFC in its capacity as executing agency for the United Nation Development Programme's African Training and Management Services (ATMS) project.

The Stichting (Dutch for "foundation") is a legal entity, established in Amsterdam under the laws of The Netherlands to support projects within the framework of the ATMS initiative. A large portion of Stichting funds has traditionally gone to AMSCO's SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) client companies, to help them cover the cost of the management and training services provided by AMSCO. The Stichting is in turn funded by a number of committed national and multilateral donors.

In 2004, the Stichting received and used funds from the following donors:
