Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya DT Global Full time

DT Global, built on more than 50 years of experience from AECOM International Development, Development Transformations, and the Global Peace and Development (GPD) Charitable Trust, applies ingenuity, evidence, and passion to everything we do.

Grounded in decades of technical expertise and leadership around the world, we incorporate rigorous learning and assessment in our program design process to ensure that we stay on the cutting edge of thought leadership.

Our technical experts work in partnership with communities and institutions to deliver innovative, data-driven solutions that create sustainable change and improve people's lives.

About The Program

The Jiinue Growth Program ("JGP" or the "Program") seeks to address the funding gap for MSMEs in Kenya by pairing financial support with well-tailored technical assistance and a hands-on coordination strategy between various partners in the ecosystem.

Therefore, JGP is implementing interventions on access to finance, business skills training, and more, bundled with relevant technical assistance and purposeful learning and adaptation.

To aid loan application, assessment, disbursement, and collection, JGP will host a loan origination and servicing platform to facilitate the allocation of short- and medium-term finance and appropriate technical assistance to Kenya's young women, men, and qualified enterprises.

The partnership in delivering these interventions reflects an assessment of project needs and involves partners to address them.

Three financial intermediaries (Powered by People, Grassroots Business Fund, and 4G) will lead in financial disbursements and pre- and post-financial access technical assistance to the 229,500 enterprises segmented by sector and size.

JGP recognizes the need to carefully reach, onboard, and follow the progress of these MSMEs. Therefore, three Business Membership Organizations are brought on board as pipeline partners. The project governance and implementation will be managed by the Grassroots Business Fund with implementation support from DT Global.

About The Opportunity
