Women and youth across the country have been tipped on the available opportunities to access financial services in a bid to bring about economic development and strengthen relations with financial institutions.

Business Development Fund (BDF) in partnership with Rwanda Cooperative Agency (RCA), conducted different workshops in all the provinces of the country where a total of 892 SACCO officials and women representatives were facilitated to attend.

BDF’s aim is to promote SME development through the provision of financial services to enhance the lending mechanism of financial institutions.
