According to the Bank’s website, DFC recently provided Beacon Fund a $50 million loan portfolio guaranty to guaranty loans to women-owned or managed SMEs in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. In support of this guaranty, DFC is providing Beacon Fund with a $2,511,500 Technical Assistance (“TA”) grant to support its portfolio companies with services including leadership training for women business owners, digital transformation across business functions, and building/maintaining competitive advantages for resilient SMEs. The TA is anticipated to support at least 40 SMEs across Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam over five years, leading to accelerated SME growth, attracting and retaining greater talent (especially women), increased operational efficiency, and more jobs created.
