Aim of the Backstopping Mandate

The objectives are the increase of quality and the outreach of financial services (savings, credits, money transfer, insurance, leasing etc.) especially with regard to the poorer strata of the population, and the development of financial markets.

The support the BSM offers is addressed to:

• Collaborators of SDC in Switzerland and abroad;

• Swiss NGOs and consultants working in the financial sector development;
• Students, researchers and other interested persons.

The website

The website shall promote a common learning and provide a platform for exchange between the different SDC supported programs and partners, integrating the experiences, know how and knowledge worldwide. At the same time it will serve to disseminate information, products and instruments and bring certain events and trainings to your attention.

The quality and content of this common learning will depend significantly also on your contributions! Contact us if you have a contribution to make, if you know of an interesting experience, or if there is a topic you are interested to learn more about or to be worked on.

They are supported in their job by an information management specialist, administrative assistants and have in-house access to specialists in the field of small and medium enterprise development, marketing, agronomy, forestry and environment.
