OUR VISION

OUR MISSION
To promote inclusive rural development by providing finance and technical assistance to agriculture and renewable energy sectors in Ghana

OUR HISTORY

RDF Ghana LBG was established in 2016 as part of Denmark’s transition in its relationship with Ghana, shifting from aid to trade by 2020. 

Established in 2016

To support sustainable rural development and transition from aid to trade under DANIDA’s initiative.

Focused on Financial Inclusion

By consolidating past funding programs to enhance access to finance for agriculture and renewable energy sectors.

Funding

The seed money for the RDF was an amalgamation of all the revolving funds from DANIDA’s past engagements in the access-to-finance space within the private sector.

Our theory of change

Step 1
If MSMEs have access to finance through wholesale and direct lending and benefit from technical assistance;
Step 2
Then MSMEs in agriculture and renewable energy will have increased access to working capital and term loans and build capacity;
Step 3
Resulting in growth of MSMEs involved in agriculture and renewable energy;
Step 4
Leading to increased incomes and creation of new jobs and better opportunities for women and youth
