Renewable energy is a cross-cutting investment sector for MicroDahab as products in this category are financed through our sector-specific portfolios in Agribusiness, livestock etc.
Women in the Somali Corridors are still hugely unbanked or more under-banked than men. Women dominate the Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE) in Somaliland/Somalia and play an important role in the economy.
The challenges of working in this sector have been numerous. However, various projects have been initiated to address these issues. These projects include financing essentials such as fuel, ice, nets, and food for boat owners, providing financial support for fish retailers, and a planned Lease a Boat Program set to launch in 2019.
Agriculture, specifically farming crops, is another productive sector that MicroDahab focuses on. Various projects have been initiated to support this sector, including investing in cooperatives, purchasing greenhouses for farmers, installing lights for farming activities, and buying seeds for farmers, among other initiatives.
