Financing Local Green Enterprises: Closing the funding gap for sustainable MSMEs in developing countries

As micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) navigate the complexities of informal sectors and limited access to formal finance, it is crucial to recognize their potential for sustainable activities.

This report aims to contribute to the support of “green” MSMEs and local green enterprises (LGEs) in developing and emerging countries. This includes sketching the economic and institutional context in which MSMEs and LGEs operate. It also identifies financial and economic reforms that could support green MSMEs and LGEs in developing and emerging countries.

The report builds on findings from a set of developing and emerging countries: India, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Senegal, Uganda, South Africa and Mongolia.
