Description
Objectives

Credit line for SONIBANK, BIA Niger and BOA Niger for granting loans to small and medium-sized enterprises.

To increase the intermediaries’ access to medium and long-term resources in order to promote the financing – in the form of loans – of capital projects undertaken by small and medium-sized enterprises and thus help to improve the competitiveness and growth of the private sector in Niger.

Environmental aspects
Procurement

The environmental impact of each of the capital projects supported via the credit lines will be assessed by the intermediaries on the basis of instructions issued by the Bank, which will check that the projects comply with the environmental standards normally applied by it.

The equipment, services and works under the supported projects will be selected in accordance with appropriate procedures – international or national invitations to tender or consultations – in the light of the characteristics of the projects.
