Tunisia - Support to SMEs for access to non-bank financing

This intervention relates to the SME Support Program to improve their access to non-bank financing. It aims to put in place a national program targeting a group of promising SMEs that can develop and generate jobs, provided that these SMEs correct their weaknesses in terms of capacity. The program will facilitate SMEs' access to finance (in the capital market or through private equity funds), which will enable them to execute their investment plans, develop their businesses and create new jobs opportunities. Improvements in the capacities of beneficiary SMEs (from the point of view of strengthening governance, systems, etc.), the amount of funding mobilized by beneficiary SMEs, the growth of their activities and the new jobs they will create throughout the life of the project will be monitored and documented.
