The program is aimed at businesses engaged in activities related to energy efficiency, renewable energy, agriculture, intelligent natural resource management and climate insurance. The establishment of this partnership reflects the Bank&#8217;s commitment to Congolese SMEs and to the country&#8217;s sustainable development. It also demonstrates the solidity of the bank, despite the economic consequences of Covid-19 experienced since last year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are delighted with the addition of this guarantee facility, which reflects the confidence that our pan- African partners have in Rawbank. African Guarantee Fund has exceeded agreements previously signed in 2016 and 2017 by more than double the capacity. This new agreement will enable us to continue to assist Congolese SMEs involved in the preservation of the environment in our country,&#8221; said Mustafa Rawji, the Chief Executive Officer of Rawbank.<\/p>\n<p>Today, thanks to the confidence placed in Rawbank by international partners such as the African Development Bank and Shelter Afrique, Rawbank has become the leading partner for SMEs in DRC. The Bank has developed the Lady&#8217;s First training programs to build the capacities of entrepreneurs, facilitate their access to financing and thus develop the local economic fabric. Earlier this year, Rawbank received a $ 20 million funding from the Trade and Development Bank to support Congolese large-scale enterprises and SMEs affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rawbank is one of our long-standing partners. Since its creation, the Bank has supported SMEs and thus contributes to the development of the local economic fabric. Businesses involved in the preservation of the environment in the Democratic Republic of Congo have encountered major challenges in the past year. Through this guarantee line, Rawbank will provide them with a reliable banking partner that will enable them to recover and grow,&#8221; said Mr. Jules Ngankam, Group Chief Executive Officer of African Guarantee Fund.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>About RAWBANK<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Forte de plus de 1 700 collaborateurs avec pr\u00e8s de 100 points de vente et un bureau de repr\u00e9sentation \u00e0 Bruxelles, plus de 400 000 clients et 27% de parts de march\u00e9, RAWBANK accompagne le<br \/>\nd\u00e9veloppement de l\u2019\u00e9conomie congolaise.
