It stands out for its continued support to SMEs, women entrepreneurs and rural populations with products designed to support wealth creation. It is also well-known for its high-impact development programs in Education and Leadership Development, Energy and Environment, Food and Agriculture, Health, Financial Inclusion and Enterprise Development and Social Protection led through the Equity Group Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past three years, Proparco and Equity Bank have grown to become strong partners thanks notably to a <a title=\"First loan to Equity Bank in 2019\" href=\"https:\/\/www.proparco.fr\/en\/carte-des-projets\/equity-bank-kenya-t2?origin=\/fr\/rechercher%3Fquery%3Dequity%20bank\">$22.8 million loan granted in 2019<\/a> and a <a title=\"Second loan to Equity Bank in 2020\" href=\"https:\/\/www.proparco.fr\/en\/actualites\/afd-group-grants-us100-million-loan-equity-bank-support-kenyan-smes?origin=\/fr\/rechercher%3Fquery%3Dequity%20bank\">$100 million loan granted in October 2020<\/a>, both intended to support the Bank\u2019s commitment to Kenya\u2019s MSMEs.<\/p>\n<p>On the occasion of the visit to Kenya of the French Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade and Economic Attractiveness, Franck Riester, Proparco and Equity further strengthened their relationship by signing two new guarantees and of a technical assistance grant.<\/p>\n<p>The first, a 2.5 billion KES (\u20ac19,5 million ) ARIZ guarantee will cover 50% of the amount of eligible loans allocated by Equity Bank to Kenyan MSMEs.<\/p>\n<p>The second, a 2.5 billion KES (\u20ac19,5 million) EURIZ guarantee will cover up to 70% of loans granted to women entrepreneurs or to MSMEs in sectors with a high social or societal impact such as Agriculture, Fisheries, Education and Health. Launched in May 2019 with the support of the European Union (EU) and the European Development Fund, and the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), the EURIZ guarantee aims to facilitate access to credit for MSMEs, in particular in sectors with a high development impact, in order to help them play their essential role in economic growth and job creation.<\/p>\n<p>The two guarantees, which amount to a total of \u20ac39 million (5 billion KES), would help finance hundreds of SMEs and contribute to <a title=\"Choose Africa\" href=\"https:\/\/afd-chooseafrica-qa.cegedim.cloud\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Choose Africa<\/em><\/a>, the French initiative dedicated specifically to African entrepreneurs, start-ups and MSMEs.<\/p>\n<p>Proparco also allocated today a \u20ac550,000 (70 million KES) technical assistance grant to the Equity Group Foundation (EGF). This technical assistance, which also benefited from support from the EU and the OACPS, aims to support the development of EGF&#8217;s health pillar through several components, including the development of entrepreneurial and management training for Equity Afia&#8217;s doctor-entrepreneurs, the implementation of a quality management program within the network and the strengthening of the Equity Afia clinic economic and social model.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>With this 5bn KES guarantee facility for the benefit of hundreds of MSMEs including in high social impact sectors such as agriculture and healthcare, Proparco is very proud to further strengthen its partnership with Equity Bank, one of the leading and most innovative banking groups of Africa. Equity Bank historical and long lasting commitment to MSMEs makes it a prominent partner of the AFD Group in the roll out of the Choose Africa initiative launched in 2018 by the French Government<\/em>.\u201d, said Djalal Khimdjee, Deputy CEO of Proparco.<\/p>\n<p>Upon completing the signing, Dr. James Mwangi, Managing Director and CEO of Equity Group Holdings Plc. stated that, \u201c<em>Our strong relationship with Proparco is one that we greatly value. Our shared vision for the transformation of lives and livelihoods on the African continent is one we are both committed to. It is this shared mission that continues to support wealth creation on the continent for our people, and which will allow Africa to thrive and prosper in the post-Covid economy. We want to see continued progress for our SME and MSMEs as the world opens up and by working together with partners such as Proparco, the European Union (EU) and the European Development Fund, and the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), we are offering our clients a way to empower themselves<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>This is a fantastic example of how Team Europe support can leverage funding to key sectors for inclusive green growth in Kenya. Through this partnership with Equity Bank, women entrepreneurs and MSMEs operating in high-impact sectors such as Agriculture, Fisheries, Education and Health will be able to receive loans to expand their business and have greater social impact<\/em>&#8220;, said Deputy EU Head of Delegation, Katrin Hagemann.<\/p>\n<p>These initiatives will contribute to several Sustainable Development Goals, including #3 (Good Health and Well Being), #5 (Gender Equality) and #8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"align-center aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proparco.fr\/sites\/proparco\/files\/inline-images\/eu_flag_15.jpg\" alt=\"eu flag\" width=\"127\" height=\"85\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"62ad6953-4ce2-4989-9021-4180a043003e\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"align-center aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proparco.fr\/sites\/proparco\/files\/inline-images\/ACP_4_12.jpg\" alt=\"acp\" width=\"112\" height=\"82\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"9095fd75-3e7f-4d95-bf88-deaea89167e3\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In line with the Choose Africa initiative and as part of the visit to Kenya of the French Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade and Economic Attractiveness, Franck Riester, Proparco granted Equity Bank 5 billion KES guarantees (\u20ac39 million) to help the Kenyan bank further support job creating MSMEs.
