- Increase access to finance and financial services for small businesses, through strengthening the financial sector
- Increase access to basic infrastructure through assisting in planning, improving relevant legal and regulatory frameworks and strengthening infrastructure policy, as well as supporting specific infrastructure projects
- Increasing value-add in supply chains by providing finance, infrastructure and training to help businesses build capacity and move up the value chain to produce greater value-add products.
