SANAD Fund for MSME S.A.

The SANAD* Fund for MSME is an impact investment fund dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs in the Middle East and North Africa.

By providing much-needed access to financial resources, SANAD helps micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the region fulfill their role as engines of inclusive economic growth, job creation, and prosperity.

SANAD channels funding to this vital target group by building the ability of the local financial sector to serve the needs of MSMEs. This is done by
  
investing in local partners such as microfinance institutions, leasing companies, banks, fintechs, and other financial intermediaries that share our commitment to financial inclusion. SANAD also facilitates access to housing loans for underprivileged sections of society, in addition to promoting agricultural lending and financial technology.

SANAD’s unique offering of debt and equity financing is complemented by a Technical Assistance Facility that delivers tailored non-financial support to embed and amplify the fund’s impact.
