Project Description

The project 1) builds knowledge-management tools and structures on SME banking best practices in emerging markets; 2) hires senior SME banking experts; and 3) disseminates best practices in the developing world. The objective is to reduce the SME finance gap by fostering the desire and ability of financial institutions in emerging markets to target the SME segment effectively, and to provide an opportunity for donors to participate in the implementation of highly visible deliverables, measurable outcomes, and long-term development impact.
