SEED Green SME Finance Training

Green and eco-inclusive small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are well suited to play a crucial role in contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation. Yet, these eco-inclusive SMEs lag behind their potential due to challenges to access finance for example small ticket sizes, collateral requirements and a lack of assessment frameworks for green business models and technologies. Green finance can be leveraged to address this challenges and develop and scale financial instruments tailored to the needs of green SMEs. The Green SME Finance Training equips you with the necessary understanding and ideas to absorb and benefit from green finance flows and explore the growing market of green SMEs in Malawi.
