Background

Financial Sector Deepening Kenya (FSD Kenya) is an independent trust dedicated to the achievement of a financial system that delivers value for a green and inclusive digital economy while improving financial health and capability for women and micro and small enterprises (MSEs).

FSD Kenya works closely with the public sector, the financial services industry, and other partners to develop financial solutions that better address the real-world challenges that low-income households, micro and small enterprises, and underserved groups such as women and youth face.

Current FSD Kenya funders are UK International Development, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

FSD Kenya understands financial inclusion as harnessing the power of markets to improve people’s lives. Exceptional gains have been made in expanding inclusive finance in Kenya.

Drawing on a detailed understanding of market systems and a clear vision of the future, FSD Kenya looks to address identified systemic constraints and bring about large-scale and sustainable change.

A broad range of partnerships are core to FSD Kenya’s work, encompassing both the public and private sectors, including commercial players and non-profits.

The operational nature of these partnerships varies significantly and may involve FSD financing substantial programmes of activity, offering technical assistance, commissioning relevant research, or FSD’s technical team simply collaborating on issues of shared interest.
