WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS FINANCE PROGRAM

Why WEF Program: It has been observed that women entrepreneurs are very few and therefore not adequately represented as clients in banks. Women also experience limited business support and no financing options for their business growth are available. Women also thirst for business training and knowledge.
With all these constraints, the road to success for women in their business becomes longer than necessary.

Exim Bank having noted this vacuum and as a member of Global Banking Alliance for Women (GBA), has decided to focus on women entrepreneurs and will offer more than financial support to women entrepreneurs, through our Women Entrepreneurs Finance (WEF) program.

The services offered under this program include:

Access to local and international markets through:
- Supporting them on product development.
- Assisting them to participate in trade fairs.
- Linkages to export markets, in order for them to obtain/access to markets for their products
