About this grant
The Swiss Capacity Building Facility (SCBF) offers Technical Assistance (TA) Grants under three windows: Innovation and Product Upscale, Feasibility Studies, and Financial Education. The Financial Education window specifically reimburses grantees for technical assistance they have provided in delivering financial education as part of inclusive finance projects. These grants are designed to support activities that advance financial literacy and responsible use of financial services among low-income and underserved populations worldwide. SCBF focuses on the nexuses of finance and agriculture, health, housing, and inclusive finance enablers. The Financial Education TA Grant supports projects that integrate financial education into the scaling of financial products and services, aiming to foster a culture of financial discipline and informed decision-making among low-income communities. Past projects have included financial education for smallholder farmers in Rwanda, financial literacy integrated into digital savings programs in Benin, and client education components within microinsurance initiatives across multiple countries. SCBF collaborates with partners from both the public and private sectors to create and expand responsible digital financial solutions for underserved communities globally. The organization has co-funded over 225 projects in more than 50 countries, reaching over 6 million low-income clients.
