Build Up the Lending Bridge — Practitioners on Catalyzing Lasting Enterprise Capital Access

What does it actually take to change loan access to small enterprises? Three practitioners who have designed and run enterprise lending programs across India, sub-Saharan Africa, and the US answer this from years spent inside this question. This session surfaces the behavioral, operational and market constraints found, not through frameworks but through blood sweat and tears. The session closes with three questions every donor should ask before funding an enterprise lending program. For program designers, lenders, ecosystem builders and for donors who want to know what to look for before they commit.
