Grateful for the contracts we signed with @DFCgov and @WestAfricaHub, which is pivotal in our ambition to deploy growth capital to SMEs in the most underserved economies in West Africa, and enables us to raise additional private capital from likeminded impact investors.
DFC signed a $14.75 million loan portfolio guaranty with @Cordaid & its impact investment firm to support lending to small & medium enterprises in West Africa & the Sahel to help foster stability and economic growth ➡️ go.usa.gov/xAARf

Congrats. Every business needs a helping hand. Recognising that is the first step to success. I'm pleased to have been part of Cordaid's efforts to grow #SierraLeone's SME sector, & particularly female led businesses, through ReGrow West Africa's past support for the programme.

The CAR's ongoing conflict has claimed thousands of lives and has forced thousands of people to flee their homes. Cordaid supports the ailing population by providing access to basic services like #water, food, #healthcare and #education. #CAR

We are ready for an #Africa where sexual and reproductive health services and gender-based violence response services are pivotal to the physical and psychological well-being of refugees, returnees and internally displaced persons.

Today is #WorldRefugeeDay and we want you to meet Rachel.
Living in a refugee camp can be tough without basic amenities and infrastructure. But a @comicrelief & @JerseyOAC partnership w/ @UNCDF is seeing the introduction of basic financial services which are transforming lives 💳

Evidence shows that comprehensive sexuality #education #CSE positively impacts public & adolescent #health & sexual behaviour, reducing rates of sexually transmitted infection & adolescent pregnancy. We’re committed to support Govt of #SierraLeone to integrate #CSE in curricula – at Sierra Leone

Truly inspired by poet Fermata Saw. Increased determination to address the challenges she is confronted with daily for, in her own words, “being born on the wrong side of the tracks”. We must #TransformFreetown
Moving hug between Fermata Saw poet from a #freetown informal settlement & Mayor @yakisawyerr symbolise the synergy & collaboration that @SLURC_FT promotes #UrbanTransformationsSL @UCL_Global @UniversityNjala @dpu_ucl

In order to achieve #SDG3 ‘leaving no one behind’, it is necessary to step up donor efforts in support of global health. The Dutch Government is strongly encouraged to embrace the call for global health to strengthen health systems: cordaid.org/en/global-health… #HealthForAll

Lack of access to #healthcare in #Afghanistan leads to high mortality rates among mothers. Watch the video about Cordaid's support to the #Kandahar Institute of Health Sciences, which trains midwives and improves maternal healthcare ⤵ #HealthForAll ow.ly/9Vot30oIw5W

All levels of #healthcare services in Iraq are overloaded: their capacity is exhausted and there is a huge need to provide essential life-saving services. We support healthcare services in #NorthIraq for the most vulnerable populations ⤵ #HealthForAll ow.ly/ZOYw30oIvZ4
