Discover how FMO and Triple Jump piloted a new approach to accelerate local market development and unlock investment pipelines.
There is a large financing gap towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and simultaneously not enough investment opportunities for Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and other impact investors to deploy capital where it’s most needed. Market creation seeks to address this challenge by tacking investment barriers and unlocking more investment opportunities in markets that DFIs and investors currently cannot reach.
FMO and Triple Jump have joined forces to pilot a new approach to market creation. With support from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), the pilot—focused on financial inclusion in a select number of African countries—aimed to catalyse the growth of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). The goal: to broaden the pipeline of investable projects for development finance institutions (DFIs) and other investors committed to fostering inclusive, sustainable economic growth.
Rather than working in silos, the two organisations combined their complementary expertise to explore new ways of collaborating to develop a growing and long-term pipeline of high impact investment opportunities. This means aligning around shared objectives while making efficient use of each partner’s resources and capabilities.
As this pilot phase concludes, we share the lessons learned from this collaboration model and how it can inform future efforts to enable systemic, lasting market creation.
