Improving Access to Agriculture Financing in Tanzania

ongoing

The mission of the project is to provide innovative financial solutions to ensure that Tanzania’s food security is sustainable and self-sufficient.The line of credit will not only enable the co-financing of projects with partner financial institutions, but also give these institutions access to concessional financial resources, enabling them to lend at preferential rates to small-scale farmers.The funds will also be used for the Smallholder Credit Guarantee Scheme (SCGS) to incentivize Tanzanian financial institutions to focus lending on smallholder farmers.  Finally, a Technical Assistance program will support the partner financial institutions and their clients to design and implement efficient and sustainable agricultural projects.
