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 by the EBRD, the project consists of a senior unsecured loan of up to EUR 15 million to ING Bank A.S., for on-lending to women-led SMEs under the Turkiye Women in Business ("TurWiB II"), a blended programme established under the Financial Intermediaries Framework.

TurWiB II is an integrated and dedicated programme supporting women entrepreneurship and women-led SMEs. EBRD financing will be accompanied by (i) a technical cooperation programme to help INGT to build their internal capacity to better serve this segment, and (ii) a risk sharing mechanism supported by the Turkish Credit Guarantee Fund ("CGF") to stimulate lending on a sustainable basis. In addition, women entrepreneurs will be provided with advisory, mentorship and networking opportunities, facilitating their access to know-how and non-financial development services, as well as access to markets.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EBRD

The Project Complaint Mechanism (PCM) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the PCM, it may assess compliance with EBRD's own policies and procedures to prevent harm to the environment or communities or it may assist you in resolving the problem that led to the complaint through a dialogue with those implementing the project. Additionally, the PCM has the authority to recommend a project be suspended in the event that harm is imminent.

You can contact the PCM at: pcm@ebrd.com or you can submit a complaint online using an online form at: http://www.ebrd.com/eform/pcm/complaint_form?language=en

You can learn more about the PCM and how to file a complaint at: http://www.ebrd.com/work-with-us/project-finance/project-complaint-mechanism.html
