Launch of FEFISOL II

We are proud to announce the launch of the FEFISOL II solidarity fund to support micro-entrepreneurs and small farmers in sub-Saharan Africa.

Following the success of the first FEFISOL fund, which closed in July 2021, its promoters, social investors Alterfin and SIDI (Solidarité Internationale pour le Développement et l'Investissement), have structured this new fund dedicated to financing African rural microfinance institutions and agricultural entities sourcing from smallholder farmers in Africa.

By supporting the implementation of socially and environmentally sustainable practices, FEFISOL II directly aims to improve the living standards of vulnerable populations in rural Africa, reduce inequalities and promote sustainable agricultural development.

“Investing in farmers means investing in the future of chocolate”

This year, Alterfin is joining forces with Oxfam to support the Bite to Fight project. Launched in 2018, the initiative aims to help 100 cocoa farmers from the CPR Canaan cooperative (a member of our partner Ecookim) achieve a living income. Oxfam hopes the project can serve as a model for the wider cocoa sector.
