SMEFP - Ethiopian Enterprise Development

Small and Medium Enterprise Finance Project (SMEFP)

The Small and Medium Enterprise Finance Project (SMEFP) boosts Ethiopia's SME growth by improving access to finance and business services, supporting industrialization and economic development.

Background

The concept of the Small and Medium Enterprise Finance Project /SMEFP/ originated from a study conducted by World Bank in 2014 on the financing of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Ethiopia which discovered the phenomenon called ‘‘missing middle’’ where small and medium enterprises are more credit constrained than micro and large enterprises.

The study suggested a solution: 

Strengthen the financial capacity of microfinance institutions (MFIs) and provide them with training to serve small and medium enterprises with high credit demand.

Commercial banks should also review their lending policy and focus on supporting small and medium enterprises in addition to the financial support of large enterprises, which should be based on the existing lending needs of small and medium enterprises.

Based on this study, the Small and Medium Enterprises Finance Project was realized through an agreement between the Government of Ethiopia and the World Bank. Accordingly, the loan agreement was signed between the Government of Ethiopia and the World Bank on 15 June 2016.

The project has four components. The Project Coordination Office under the Ethiopian Enterprise Development /EED/ is responsible for the overall coordination role and direct implementation of the second, third and fourth components.

Main Components

01

Financial Services to SMEs

The component is being implemented by the Development Bank of Ethiopia with a budget of $ 269 million and an additional $ 180 million is added to the fund.

The credit line of the project has two lending windows: 

  1. A leasing window that provides capital goods lease finance to SMEs directly through the Development Bank of Ethiopia /DBE/
  2. A working capital window that provides wholesale finance to banks and microfinance institutions for on-lending to eligible SMEs.
