Terimbere MSME Facility supports Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), the backbone of Rwanda’s economy. The Facility works with businesses to address the challenges they face in accessing finance, growing, becoming more profitable, and creating work opportunities. This is achieved through initiatives that contribute to building an efficient, inclusive, innovative, and sustainable entrepreneurship and MSME financing ecosystem.

The Facility facilitates the provision of tailor-made business growth services, information, and appropriate financing, while working towards improving policies and regulations affecting business growth. This is done through collaboration with business development service providers, technical experts, financial institutions, and policymakers.

Terimbere MSME Facility is designed and implemented with an intentional gender and social inclusion lens to ensure women (especially young women), refugees, persons with disabilities, and those in rural areas are not left behind.

This is an initiative by Access to Finance Rwanda (AFR) with the support of its partners: Mastercard Foundation, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), and Jersey Overseas Aid (JOA).
