The Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), a member of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Group, recently approved a technical cooperation grant of more than $900,000 for a project with the Fortalecer Savings and Credit Cooperative in Peru that will give 1,500 small-scale rural farmers access to tailored financing, improve their skills and products, and link them to profitable markets. The project is focused on women farmers and seeks to address additional hurdles they face in conducting their business.
