The Bank acknowledged ISODEC’s significant impact on promoting long-term economic stability and growth in the Garu- Tempane enclave by making key investments in the BESSFA Bank during its inception.
Receiving the Award, the Head of Policy and Programmes at ISODEC, Mr Bernard Anaba, expressed gratitude to the Board and Management of BESSFA for the recognition.
Mr Anaba highlighted ISODEC’s role as a key shareholder in steering the bank towards supporting rural communities and farmers-led businesses.
He noted that BESSFA’s existence within the enclave is an indication that ISODEC’s investment initiative is still delivering for the communities even though there is still more room for improvement.
“As the largest shareholder of the bank, we’ll will work to ensure that the management operates effectively and in a way that aligns with our mission. This includes providing more affordable financial facilities and loans tailored for rural families, especially those led by women.
Mr Anaba added, “We remain committed to supporting the bank’s efforts to drive economic growth and foster greater inclusion for women in the economy.”
