Blended Finance · SME Lending OBF Members Blue Finance Innovation Cluster Climate Gateway Africa The Gap
Tens of thousands of SMEs have viable, climate-aligned business models but lack access to finance because commercial banks lack the right instruments to lend to them at scale.
What We're Building
We are structuring a bank-anchored blended finance platform with guarantees, concessional facilities and technical assistance to unlock SME climate lending.
The guarantee capital and technical assistance that make this platform viable are not commercially attractive at inception; philanthropic capital de-risks the model and unlocks large-scale private lending.
