    Promoteur – Intermédiaire Financier

    CENTENARY RURAL DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD

    Lieu

    Description

    The operation consists of a senior loan financing the microcredit portfolio of the Ugandan credit institution Centenary Rural Development Bank (CERUDEB).

    Additionality and Impact

    The proposed operation is a EUR-50m-loan to Centenary Rural Development Bank Ltd to finance micro-entrepreneurs and micro enterprises with a focus on female borrowers and borrowers living in rural areas.

    In Uganda, access to financial services has increased to 66% in 2021 from 59% in 2017, however, there are still gaps based on wealth, gender, and geography. The operation provides an opportunity to have significant impact on access to finance in Uganda. It is expected to contribute towards private sector inclusive growth as it will address the market failures of imperfect information, the ensued obstacles to access to finance that micro-, small- and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are confronted with when applying for funding and the financial exclusion of vulnerable groups such as women and rural populations, due to their perceived higher risk and lower credit worthiness. This operation is in line with the European Commission's priority to promote jobs and sustainable and inclusive growth. It is expected to contribute to the European Investment Bank's objective outside the European Union for private sector development and job creation in addition to contributing to a number of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 1 (no poverty), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).


    Objectifs

    The aim is to support investments and working capital needs of micro-entrepreneurs and micro-enterprises with less than 10 employees. A specific focus will be on businesses in rural areas owned, run or managed by women (50%) and to borrowers operating outside the country`s capital Kampala.
