Kola makes its @The_LHoFT pitch for the #Makeba system: this software helps #entrepreneurs document their income, so far allowing 400 #SMEs to borrow $76,000 from a wholesale funder via 4 #MFIs, and everyone profits! #SAM2023 kolagroup.io

#Africa has to be respected as a stakeholder; part of why it hasn’t been in the past is that we haven’t yet taken control of our narrative. @InezaUmuhoza @TheProtectorRw @LossDamageYouth #SAM2023

Being at the #SAM2023 Investors Fair is exciting in two aspects: It’s great to meet in person with #MFIs from all over #Africa without having to travel to each of their home countries, and it’s an excellent way to compare these borrowers qualitatively. -Michael Musau, Investment Manager at en.alterfin.be

Foreign exchange fluctuations are a challenge. To address this, @Proparco has become a shareholder in @tcxfund to provide coverage for this eventuality for both @MFIs and #microfinance funders. -Sadio Dicko #SAM2023

Replying to @Proparco
@Proparco has a new mandate to take more risks in Africa to increase #foodsecurity - including price stability - through risk sharing and other means. For example, we funded TA for @AdvansRCI that has increased lending to smallholder maize farms in #CotedIvoire. #SAM2023
