The International Finance Corporation (IFC) signed an agreement that will allow Cordaid of the Netherlands to provide $4.6 million in additional financing to IFC’s West Africa Venture Fund, focusing on small and medium enterprises in Sierra Leone and Liberia at this critical time as they battle the unfolding Ebola epidemic. The investment will provide an extra boost to the $13.6 million West Africa Venture Fund, that was established in 2010, as part of IFC’s SME Ventures program which seeks to fund and train entrepreneurs in some of the world’s toughest markets.
