Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

As stated on the project disclosure page, FMO's loan will be on-lent by Fedecredito to its members.

Fedecredito's UBOs are about 1 million low-to-mid income Salvadorans and by providing debt we support further increase of Fedecredito's equity value which is ultimately owned by this 1/6 of the population in El Salvador. We support financial inclusion in El Salvador, by supporting Fedecredito who leads and manages the growth of the network Fedecredito (Sistema Fedecredito) which has 625+ service points throughout El Salvador being most outreaching and largest banking network in the country. There is no place in El Salvador where within a 20 kilometer range you are not able to find a service point of Sistema Fedecredito. We have brought new investors to Fedecredito: DEG, Proparco, Ecobusiness Fund, Triodos and Actiam. We aim to make Fedecredito Green by supporting Fedecredito in boosting Sistema Fedecredito's agricultural portfolio aligned with the biodiversity goals of EcoBusiness Fund.

Financial Intermediary
A financial intermediary is a bank or financial institution that receives funds from a development bank. A financial intermediary then lends these funds to their clients (private actors) in the form of loans, bonds, guarantees and equity shares. Financial intermediaries include insurance, pension and equity funds. The direct financial relationship is between the development bank and the financial intermediary.
Private Actors Description
A Private Actor is a non-governmental body or entity that is the borrower or client of a development project, which can include corporations, private equity and banks. This describes the private actors and their roles in relation to the project, when private actor information is disclosed or has been further researched.

As stated by the FMO, Fedecredito is a federation of 55 member cooperatives, which provides technical assistance and funding to its members. The 55 member cooperatives together own 100 percent of Fedecredito. The cooperatives in turn are owned by their 934k members/ shareholders.
