Evidence review for agricultural SME finance

This evidence review maps the existing body of practitioner and academic evidence on lending to agricultural small and medium-sized enterprises in developing economies, and identifies research and learning priorities to fill key gaps. This work is part of a partnership between CSAF and the International Growth Centre (IGC), who are working together to expand the knowledge base of what does and does not work for mobilizing additional capital into the agricultural finance sector, and how to steer that capital for greatest impact.
