Challenge Investment Fund
LACIF's specific objectives will be fivefold. First, to assist financially sound MFIs in obtaining local currency funding which will allow them to continue to grow their loan portfolios during their transformation process. Third, to leverage Development Finance Institution investment capital with financing from private SRIs. Fourth, to support the growth of existing guarantee funds through re-guarantee partnerships. Finally, to "graduate" MFIs to the point that they no longer require guarantees to access commercial bank funding.
