Research proposals are invited on any one of the following themes relating to socioeconomic transformation for growth and poverty reduction within REPOA’s broad research agenda:

ii) Looking at differentiated access to quality education in terms of social exclusion from education and/or skill acquisition.


3. Governance
Two key areas of focus under this theme:
i) Local Government (LG) reforms and ease of doing business: examination of changes in ease of doing business at the sub-national levels and how the LG reforms have/ are contributing to improvement of doing business conditions. Others may examine the extent to which design of LG reforms have included business environment issues as a key component for fostering development.

ii) CSO participation in the Audit Process: study will attempt to fill the gap of documented evidence about CSO engagement and contribution in the Audit Process by mapping out and documenting CSO engagement in the Audit Process in Tanzania (where they are; what they do in relation to oversight of public resources; how they use the audit findings, and contribute to the audit process, how and with whom they engage on public such issues etc.)

SME FINANCE INNOVATION CHALLENGE FUND (SME Finance ICF)

Press Release

The Financial Sector Deepening Trust aims to provide greater access for more people to the financial sector in Tanzania. The importance of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) for economic competitiveness, growth, employment and poverty reduction is widely recognized. Poor access to finance remains a constraint for SMEs. The range of products supplied is limited and there is very little innovation going on.

SME Finance ICF has issued this challenge to financial service providers (banks and non-banks) to test and develop innovative business models that will deliver new products and better services to underserved SME clients.

The ICF is a risk-sharing mechanism. By financing up to half of the cost of developing new services, FSDT seeks to encourage financial innovation. Ideas that might otherwise be too risky to attract commercial operators will be worth undertaking. This could involve new technologies, better credit scoring, creating links with service providers in order to reach previously un-served businesses, opening up new service channels and devising creative marketing and customer service strategies.



Target audience

The ICF opportunity targets financial institutions, not SMEs themselves. Financial institutions may wish to partner with service providers from outside the sector and this would be eligible for support. FSDT looks to support projects testing innovative concepts, technologies and business models; not to finance normal course of business or on-lending.

Awards

Grant awards will be made through a two-stage competitive process, in the range US$ 500,000 to US$ 100,000. Decisions will be guided by an independent panel.



For more information, go to http://www.fsdt.or.tz or email us at: info@fsdt.or.tz
