The UNCDF designed the Local Climate Adaptive Living Facility (LoCAL) to help strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities such as Saponé in the Centre-Sud Region, Loumbila in the Plateau-Central Region and Pabré in the Centre Region of Burkina Faso. 

IFC and the Central Bank of Madagascar today announced a partnership to strengthen the country's public credit registry to improve credit reporting and increase access to finance for individuals and small businesses.

Through its subsidiaries, Baobab provides financial services to half a million microentrepreneurs and small businesses, thus allowing access to financing to people who are not currently supported by traditional banks.

The overall program objective is to increase the productivity of the participating actors in the agricultural value chains particularly affected by climate change.
