About this grant
The Technical Assistance (TA) Grant – Feasibility Studies is one of three windows under the Swiss Capacity Building Facility's (SCBF) Technical Assistance Grant programme. TA Grants reimburse grantees for technical assistance they have provided for the purpose of achieving targets set out for inclusive finance projects. The Feasibility Studies window specifically supports the early-stage investigation and assessment of new inclusive finance products, services, or market opportunities before full development or scale-up. SCBF is an innovative funder providing capital to drive inclusive finance for low-income communities, with key focus areas at the nexuses of finance and agriculture, health, housing, and inclusive finance enablers. It collaborates with partners from the public and private sectors to create and expand responsible digital financial solutions for underserved communities worldwide. Grants under the Feasibility Studies window, along with the Financial Education window, are exclusively available to SCBF Members. The Innovation and Product Upscale window is the only TA Grant window open beyond the membership. This membership restriction means applicants must first become an SCBF partner or member organisation before applying under this window.

SCBF works with financial service providers (FSPs) and technical assistance providers operating in inclusive finance, particularly those serving low-income communities in developing countries across agriculture, health, housing, and related sectors. There is no explicit geographic restriction stated on the page beyond the general focus on underserved communities worldwide, though SCBF's portfolio spans Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
