Through this bond, SAJIDA Foundation, in partnership with Impact Investment Exchange - IIX and BRAC EPL Investments Limited, aims to transform decades of development impact into a market-based instrument aligned with international best practices.
The bond will attract local and international investors, channeling proceeds to support women-focused and inclusive enterprises of SAJIDA Foundation across livelihoods, health, housing, and financial inclusion.
