Dalberg designed and helped launch the Fund for Agricultural Finance in Nigeria (FAFIN) on behalf of KfW and the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The fund concept emerged from an assessment study of the Nigerian agricultural finance market by Dalberg, where we found the biggest gap in growth capital for small and mid-sized enterprises. Dalberg was then engaged to design a growth capital fund, developing its strategy and structure, supporting fund manager recruitment, and developing operational documents. We also helped facilitate fund incorporation and early fundraising processes.
