FMO

FMO’s contribution aims at increasing the dialogue between Smart Campaign and Apollo, supporting the adaptation of Smart Campaign’s standards for digital credit to Apollo’s smallholder finance business model, and in the future, to similar digital credit providers in the region.

African Century Limited, which markets itself as African Century Leasing (both ACL and used interchangeably) is a niche player with a focus on (M)SME clients and is the 2nd largest leasing provider in Zimbabwe. The aim is to support ACL in the change process associated with its obtaining a microfinance banking licence in February 2015.

The facility will qualify as Tier-II capital, which will enable Access Bank to roll out its 5-year strategy of becoming Africa’s gateway to the world. Part of that strategy is also to deepen the footprint in the retail segment as well as increasingly support local Micro, Small, and Medium-size Enterprises, thereby supporting job creation in the Nigerian economy.

The overall objective of this project is to improve Advans CI’s portfolio quality, its operational efficiency and its Client Protection Principles. The project focuses on three core components to achieve this objective: i) strengthening operational efficiency through a/o a restructuring of the branches, ii) risk management capacity building for staff and iii) integration of the Client Protection Principles throughout the operations.
