[IDC South Africa @IDCSouthAfrica]

The IDC, in collaboration with the IFC, hosted a strategic workshop focused on strengthening collaboration across the MSME ecosystem.

Bringing together DFIs, partners, and key banking players — including Absa, Standard Bank, Nedbank, NEF, Capitec, SEDFA, Landbank, FNB and Banking Association of SA — the session unpacked how we can better align, reduce duplication, and create smoother pathways for MSMEs to grow and scale.

The focus is simple: move from working in silos to building a more connected, supportive ecosystem where businesses don’t fall through the cracks.
