Support to Investment Readiness of Micro- Small and Medium Enterprises, Senegal

The program aims to improve access to finance for micro, small and medium-sized businesses in Senegal by reducing friction between businesses and financial institutions. Its operational core is an online platform where SMEs create a profile and fill out their financing needs, then are supported by partner organizations to complete and improve their application. The mechanism is designed to secure and streamline the financing chain: banks receive better-prepared files and can access clients pre-assessed by a public agency, while the program also supports the reforms necessary to improve the framework for access to credit. Particular attention is given to businesses run by women.
