Call For Expressions of Interest for Credit Market Project Manager and Pan-African Financial Sector Specialists
FSDA is a non-profit company based in Nairobi which promotes poverty reduction through financial sector development across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It sees itself as a catalyst for change, working with partners to build financial markets that are robust, efficient and, above all, inclusive. It uses funding, research and technical expertise to identify market failures and strengthen the capacity of its partners to improve access to financial services and drive economic growth.
In July 2016, FSDA launched its Credit Market Development Programme. The Programme aims to support the development of credit markets across SSA that are efficient, inclusive and maintain high standards of market conduct in order to expand quality access to credit for retail and SME consumers. It comprises interventions and will be implemented in partnership with FSDs and other facilitating agencies, as well as with donors, research institutes and government organisations.
