The International Trade Centre and the Tanzania Bankers Association through Farwell Innovations Ltd developed this facility in response to overwhelming demand from thousands of MSMEs, financing and services providers surveyed in East Africa in 2019 and 2020. The platform was developed with the financial support of the European Union-funded East African Community Market Access Upgrade Programme II (MARKUP II), implemented by the ITC. This support has enabled us to program, launch, test and cover the initial internet hosting costs of this platform.
