Plus de 400 millions FCFA octroyés aux GIE de femmes de Thiès : Le FONGIP convaincu qu'investir dans les femmes, c’est investir dans l’avenir de la nation
The Priority Investment Guarantee Fund (FONGIP), in partnership with microfinance institutions, notably PAMECAS, a major player in inclusive finance in Senegal, granted, this weekend in Thiès, financing of more than 400 million FCFA to some thirty Economic Interest Groups (GIE) of women in the Thiès region.
The ceremony, presided over by the Director General of FONGIP, Ms. Ndèye Fatou Mbodj Diattara, underscores the importance placed by the highest authorities in the country on promoting women's entrepreneurship and their economic inclusion. This initiative is fully aligned with a broader approach to supporting sustainable development and the economic empowerment of local communities, consistent with national economic and social transformation goals, particularly those outlined in the Senegal 2050 Agenda.
Through this initiative, which is part of the institution's strategic vision to facilitate access to financing for priority economic actors, particularly women organized in GIEs, FONGIP and PAMECAS intend to strengthen the financial capacities of women entrepreneurs in the Thiès region, in order to support their income-generating activities and promote value creation at the local level.
“Today, nearly 30 women’s economic interest groups (EIGs) in the Thiès region are benefiting from funding, totaling 251 million FCFA with PAMECAS and 160 million FCFA with Kash Credit,” reports Ms. Ndèye Fatou Mbodj Diattara. She adds that about twenty EIGs are receiving institutional support of 500,000 FCFA each.
These amounts, she emphasizes, “are not mere figures but seeds of growth, jobs, dignity, and hope, as well as tools to transform ideas into businesses, activities into sustainable income, and individual efforts into collective prosperity.” These loans are “repayable, to allow other women to benefit.”
