Security Resilience and Profitability in Finance for Sahel's Agriculture Sector

On April 24th, the CATALYZE Finance for Resilience (F4R) team hosted a dynamic webinar that explored security, resilience, and profitability in finance in Sahel’s agricultural sector. This webinar explored CATALYZE's flexible project design, robust partnerships, and steadfast commitment to addressing multifaceted challenges in regions affected by food crises, conflicts, and economic downturns. We explored the critical intersection of security, resilience, and financial access, sharing strategies to ensure access to finance and increase the profitability of MFIs in the agricultural sector. Speakers discussed how incentives have played a pivotal role in expanding value chains, specifically lending to the small ruminant value chain, and how organizations have successfully expanded their zones of operation despite security challenges. We also highlighted how CATALYZE's innovative use of financial instruments, including guarantees, insurance, capital injections, and debt restructuring, manages risks, lowers required loan amounts and extends support to micro-enterprises and solidarity groups.
