Under the agreement, €115 million will be a credit line from EIB Global to KCB, matched by €115 million from KCB’s own funds. <br /><br />According to a joint statement by the banks, through the ‘Investing in Young Businesses in Africa’ (IYBA) initiative, a total of €30 million will go to women-led/owned microenterprises. The package will also see €100 million dedicated towards working capital and new investments of small and medium enterprises specifically targeting businesses owned or run by women, in line with the 2X Challenge criteria. <br /><br />The balance of €100 million will target inclusive growth and youth employment opportunities with a focus on businesses led/founded by a young entrepreneur or employing at least 40% young people. One-third of the financing to KCB shall be allocated to beneficiaries in the agriculture sector value chain.<br /><br />The Gates Foundation will provide technical assistance for the project and address a range of issues that limit women with low incomes from accessing finance, such as lack of collateral or credit history. This support will help to lower the cost of loans to women through digital technology and risk sharing. <br /><br />“Micro, small and medium-sized businesses are the economic lifeblood of Kenya but are more vulnerable to crises than larger enterprises,” said European Investment Bank Vice President, Thomas Ostros. “The lack of adequate, affordable financing puts significant pressure on private lending, which in turn has entrepreneurs and small companies at a disadvantage. We believe that this new partnership will help spur private sector growth, gender equality, youth empowerment, promotion of sustainable job opportunities, and reduction of poverty.”<br /><br />The financing support to KCB is part of the IYBA initiative, which is supported by various EU Member States and their financial institutions that look to not only provide capital for startups and early-stage businesses but also provide technical assistance and capacity building to ensure businesses are bankable and sustainable for the long term, thus spurring job creation.<br /><br />KCB Group CEO, Paul Russo, said, “We are scaling our interventions to build a strong and vibrant SME sector to provide a strong foundation in our efforts to lift communities. We are increasingly addressing the barriers that hinder their growth and use this funding to provide tailored financial solutions, business mentorship, and capacity-building initiatives to ensure that SMEs are not only surviving but thriving in the dynamic marketplace.”<br /><br />KCB Bank Kenya runs a women focused proposition dubbed Female-Led and Made Enterprises (FLME), where the bank has set aside KShs.50 billion annually to support women entrepreneurship. This is part of the larger support ecosystem for youth and SMEs.</p></p> <br /> <span class='st_facebook_hcount' displayText='Facebook' st_via="FinancialNG"></span> <span class='st_twitter_hcount' displayText='Tweet' st_via="FinancialNG"></span> <span class='st_googleplus_hcount' displayText='Google +' st_via="FinancialNG"></span> <span class='st_linkedin_hcount' displayText='LinkedIn' st_via="FinancialNG"></span> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="sustainable-development-cnt"> <h2 class="page-heading"><span class="sprites latestnews-ico"></span> Related News</h2> <div class="norecord">No Related News Found.</div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="comment-section"> <script type="text/javascript"> var disqus_config = function() { this.page.remote_auth_s3 = "W10= 045372567b01b87fb8e202192cbbbb49623db13b 1732450046"; this.page.api_key = "l4kvcHI4WMWo2fVgTfftZp2j7ABeedKaHIpQxasgA5sWN88akgwVD4ZHaeLCtk2S"; var disqus_shortname = 'financial-nigeria'; // Required -
