We are excited to announce the recent collaboration agreement between the Swiss Foundation for Technical Cooperation Swisscontact Guatemala and GDA to promote entrepreneurship in Central America.
Understanding the technical and financial gaps experienced by small and medium-sized enterprises in Guatemala and the Central American region, which hinder access to investment and financing for their operation and growth, we join forces to attract resources, expertise, and technical specialization to support the takeoff and acceleration of entrepreneurship in rural and urban areas.
Through expert and personalized services to mitigate the barriers that prevent access to investment and financing, both organizations hope to offer the Investment Readiness Program, created by GDA and powered by Swisscontact, aimed startups, small rural entrepreneurs, and cooperatives, in the early stages of launch and growth.
"Our goal is to focus on underserved markets, where need and opportunity converge," says Patricia Funegra, Founder and CEO of GDA. "The Northern Central America region (Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala) offers huge opportunities for economic growth; however, there is a need to implement a new approach aimed at reducing and eliminating the gaps that prevent these groups from accessing the economic resources necessary to grow their businesses, create new jobs, innovate, and strengthen their economies."
Swisscontact's value proposition in implementing financial inclusion projects lies in its comprehensive approach that addresses financial literacy and access to financial services and focuses on economic empowerment, gender equality, environmental sustainability, and innovative financial solutions. This holistic approach ensures sustainable and long-term impact, as well as inclusivity in different sectors of society," stated Carlos Morales Cajas, Country Director, Swisscontact Guatemala.
