Established in April 2011, the Swiss Capacity Building Facility (SCBF) is a public-private development partnership (PPDP), and its intervention strategy is to give grants to technical assistance (TA) providers to work with partner financial institutions to develop and upscale client-centred financial products, channels and services in emerging and developing countries. The financial products and services include savings, loans, insurance, digital financial services, or financial education, among others. The work of SCBF helps increase their access and usage to SCBF’s end-clients; low-income people, smallholder farmers and small-scale entrepreneurs and in particular women, to improve their livelihoods. Since inception, SCBF has funded over 159 projects across 47 countries, with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and 25 private sector members. Over 36 unique TA providers have delivered capacity building support to over 110 unique partner financial institutions (PFIs).
