Innovation for Social Change
Switzerland promotes growth of impact-first enterprises in Tanzania through the provision of tailored technical assistance and innovative impact-linked financing (ILF) instruments. Support to enterprises is tied to their potential or proven social impact, measured against the extent of improvements in social and economic well-being among poor youths and young women. Switzerland further promotes strategic policy dialogues, paving way for systemic support to impact-first enterprises.

Hintergrund | Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) contribute roughly 40% of total employment and 35% of Tanzania’s GDP. Yet, SMEs still face many constraints including inadequate access to capital, regulatory framework, and human capital development. Consequently, Tanzania-based SMEs’ growth rate is often lower than the corresponding failure rate. Women-led SMEs are disproportionately affected, often facing more exclusion from property ownership and access to finance. Whereas the potential from youth engagement is overlooked and undersupported, despite their large population and unique capacity for innovation. Against the backdrop, the Innovation for Social Change programme seeks to support SMEs that prioritize social and economic wellbeing of youth and women – through their operations, products, and services. To achieve the above, capacity building and ILF will be deployed. The rationale behind the intervention strategy is to incentivize beneficiary SMEs to equally embed impact and financial returns as part of their business (growth) models. The Embassy of Switzerland in Tanzania can leverage Switzerland’s political pioneer role in innovative Impact-linked Financing and Private Sector Engagement (PSE) to make this programme a success. |
Ziele | The overall goal is to contribute to an ecosystem, in which thriving small and medium sized impact enterprises improve the living standards of Tanzanians, especially poor youth and young women, as customers, suppliers, or employees. |

Koordination mit anderen Projekten und Akteuren | There are potential synergies with Aceli Africa project, which is funded by the Global Programme Food Security (GPFS). The ISC programme is also part of the “Heracles Project”, thereby contributing to SDC’s PSE guidance development. Additionally, a review for synergies with the ongoing support to Ifakara Innovation Hub will be conducted. |
