Economic and Financial Inclusion
Jump Links
SEDF has a decades-long commitment to supporting economic and financial inclusion as pillars of open society. Early work in this area included a ten-year commitment to a nonprofit association in South Africa—and one of the first post-apartheid public-private partnerships—which created affordable housing for over one million people. We also helped launch an Indian company that provides patient capital to SMEs which in turn generate jobs, improve livelihoods, and deliver essential goods and services (food, health care, education, financial services) to low-income people. More recently, our SME financing has included investments in a fund supporting manufacturing, agro-processing, education, and healthcare in Ethiopia, and a platform supporting local fund managers in sub-Saharan Africa.
