Who is our customer
The SANAD Fund for MSME views the micro, small and medium enterprise sector as an engine of economic development, job creation and prosperity in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). SANAD provides debt and equity financing to local partner institutions for on-lending to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and fuelling their growth. To maximize both the Fund’s impact and its returns, SANAD also provides hands-on support to partner institutions via its Technical Assistance Facility.
What is our funding objective?
To support SANAD’s partner institutions through the Technical Assistance Facility with hands-on support to optimize product offerings, access new customer segments, adopt alternative lending technologies, and develop new initiatives
Why do we fund this investment?
The MENA region has undergone fundamental changes since early 2011. Public uprisings have changed the political landscape and highlighted the need for economic development and the creation of employment, especially among the youth. By targeting MSMEs in a fragile region of the world, the SANAD Fund and Technical Assistance Facility are directly supporting the Base of the Pyramid, promoting financial inclusion, stimulating job creation, and encouraging economic growth.
