The Impulsion, Guarantee and Support Fund (Figa) and the African Solidarity Fund (FSA) signed on March 12 in Niamey, Niger, in Niamey, Niger, partnership framework agreement for partnership framework agreement for assistance in support operations for Congolese companies.

Figa and the FSA think that Figa and the FSA think that Figa will better handle technical guarantee tools and a co-guarantee individually or through a line covering a portfolio of commitments without more precision on the cost of the investment. According to the two funds, this will lead Figa to share the risk with the FSA and to be able to intervene in favor of companies whose needs exceed its limit of intervention per signature. Their contract could contribute to improving support for very small and medium-sized enterprises and handicrafts operating in Congo.
