The Access to Finance and Investment Senior Advisor will connect local firms that need finance to the Partnership Development Fund Manager as well as available funding programs and link financial institutions and investors with BDS centers and other women and youth networks, meet with relevant donor projects to learn, promote, and invite BDS centers to leverage the financial resources available through these development partners and their participating local banks and institutions and provide information on available programs to their MSMEs. Increase financial literacy, build awareness of existing financing opportunities, and facilitate linkages with financial institutions who have vast impact on MSME business growth.
