Description
1) Objective
The aim of FMO’s Capacity Development (CD) program is to enable clients and prospective clients to improve their performance and to become more competitive in a sustainable way. The program does this by promoting and facilitating the transfer of knowledge and skills, ultimately to strengthen organizational capabilities. Under the program FMO can contribute to the cost of hiring external consultants or trainers to facilitate this capacity building in client organizations. CD is used in line with FMO’s strategy to support entrepreneurs in developing countries, with a focus on FMO’s core sectors.
Focus areas are:
- Gender equality: they facilitate clients to unlock inclusive business opportunities by building awareness of and investing in women.
- Governance and risk management: they support companies to reduce risks by improving governance, implementing appropriate risk management frameworks and through enhancing management information systems to aid decision making.
- Green: they enable clients to enhance their green and sustainability credentials, for example through the development of green finance products.
- Environmental & Social Risk Management: they support clients to identify, manage and mitigate Environmental & Social related risks, and enable our financial sector clients to improve portfolio quality.
2) Eligibility
Eligible organisations are businesses that receive support from FMO.
3) Location
CD provides support to developing countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. The majority of their investment goes to Africa (32%), followed by Asia (26%) and Latin America (21%).
4) Budget
The budget can include costs for consultancy, training and start-up projects. CD can contribute up to 50% of the total budget of an eligible project; the CD beneficiary is expected to co-finance the remainder of the budget to demonstrate their commitment to the project and their buy-in. Tangible assets and software are ineligible for CD funding.
