Discover the new FEFISOL II video, our solidarity investment fund dedicated to financing rural microfinance and small family farms in Africa.
Read the testimonials of several players in the FEFISOL II fund, which provides financing and technical support to over 40 agricultural cooperatives and microfinance institutions in 17 African countries. The aim is to respond to major challenges:
- Accelerating the ecological transition
- Supporting sustainable agrifood systems
- Creating decent jobs in rural communities
- Promoting gender equality, for example by improving women’s access to quality jobs and management positions
Fefisol II includes high-impact financing in key agricultural sectors, such as vanilla in Madagascar, or coffee in Rwanda and East Africa.
Since its creation, FEFISOL II has already supported organizations to the tune of over 41 million euros, and committed over 468 million euros in technical assistance.
The SIDI and Alterfin teams would like to thank all those who have supported the initiative: the European Investment Bank, BIO, Proparco, BRS – Belgian Raiffeisen Foundation, Banque Alternative Suisse, SOS Faim, Banca Etica, Groupe Caisse des Dépôts, and Crédit Coopératif.
