ENTERPRISE AND SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT

Enabling the businesses of TODAY, FOR THE SUSTAINABILITY OF TOMORROW

Our mandate is to identify, develop and sustain a pipeline of future-fit qualifying small and medium enterprises by enabling them to scale up into sustainable businesses through investment in innovative, sustainable, and socially relevant development solutions and funding.
