Description

The Microfinance Enhancement Facility (MEF) is a blended-finance debt fund providing senior and subordinated loans to microfinance institutions in emerging markets including Sub-Saharan Africa. MEF is co-managed by four leading impact investment fund managers: BlueOrchard Finance, Cyrano Management, responsAbility, and Symbiotics. The facility was originally established in response to the 2008 financial crisis to maintain liquidity for MFIs and has evolved into one of the largest pooled microfinance debt vehicles serving African MFIs.
