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.

According to the Bank’s website, FMO's funding will contribute to a technical assistance (TA) facility for IIAF II, to support its portfolio companies (SMEs). This facility will provide external advisory services to 1) reduce portfolio companies' risk profile via business model optimization 2) improve portfolio companies' likelihood of success and revenue via effectively managing core business activities, and 3) scale portfolio companies' impact and serve underserved populations, including low-income and hard-to-reach groups as well as women.

This Technical Assistance (TA) targets SMEs in Cambodia (LDC), India, and Pakistan (LMICs), serving low-income consumers. This aligns well with FMO's focus to support the private sector in these countries, contributing to SDG 8 (economic growth). The project also aligns with FMO's aim to contribute to SDG 10 (reducing inequalities amongst and within countries). MASSIF funds this project due to its focus on enhancing access to basic goods and services for underserved populations in LDCs and LMICs.
