British International Investment (BII)—formerly CDC Group—is the U.K. Government’s development finance institution, supporting the growth of private businesses in Africa and South Asia.
FSG Plus supports BII in addressing two pressing priorities—i) inclusion and ii) climate change and environmental sustainability—by catalyzing sustainable practice change in financial institutions. It does this through:
The Facility promotes sustained practice changes in financial services providers leading to improvements in the relevance, quality, affordability, and/or accessibility of financial services for target populations, green sectors, and/or small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Through generated evidence and focused assistance, the Facility helps BII investees demonstrate the business case for financial services that would lead to a knock-on effect on other financial service providers in these markets that more visibly support BII’s impact priorities.
