Today at the UNDP & SME Foundation National Consultation Workshop on Blended Finance, Azad Md Abul Kalam, FCA, Head of Microfinance represented SAJIDA Foundation and shared key learnings from our work with climate-vulnerable communities and ultra-poor graduation programme.

We emphasised how locally-designed blended finance solutions, integrated with social services and health support, successfully reach last-mile communities.

Our approach demonstrates that building CMSME resilience requires strong partnerships across government, private sector, donors, and NGOs working together to create sustainable financial ecosystems.
