Project Description

The project will support Diamond Bank in strengthening their agrifinance capabilities and increasing their agrifinance portfolio. There will be a specific focus on profitable value chain financing for agri-SMEs and other related products that will support the expansion of its agricultural portfolio.
The project will consist of two components. The first is technical assistance in developing bank systems and training bank staff in risk management, product and channel development, and MIS for data disaggregation by product and gender lines. The second component is knowledge management, in which the team will identify and document the key elements necessary to scale up and replicate this model to agrifinance projects in other countries and disseminate this information through various knowledge management events.
