Sudan Women and Youth Entrepreneurship (SWAYE) Project

Failure

To tackle economy-wide and firm-level constraints the project would consist of three components: Component 1: Improving the enabling environment for MSME development; a strong institutional set-up and robust planning which is critical to enable private sector led growth in Sudan. The project activities will support foundational activities that include: (i) strengthening the institutional, legal and regulatory framework and ii) enhancing market infrastructure: including strengthening the business registration system and credit infrastructure. Component 2: Access to finance and business development services for MSMEs. This component would aim to increase access to affordable finance and firm-level demand side support for MSMEs, focusing on women and youth owned/led MSMEs. It would be structured around three subcomponents, with accompanying technical assistance – (I) liquidity support, (ii) de-risking instruments and (iii) business development services to entrepreneurs. Liquidity support could be through a line of credit for on-lending to participating financial institutions then to MSMEs, or other direct lending schemes (with strong eligibility criteria). Component 3: Project Management and Coordination. This component will finance support for project implementation.
