Apoyar una transición ecológica y digital justa en Europa
El proyecto "Transform Together Fund" con The Microfinance Centre
Este artículo y el proyecto están escritos en inglés.
Project Description & Objectives
It is observed that key target groups of social economy are left behind green and digital transition in Europe. It is particularly true for the most vulnerable : microentrepreneurs, low-income people, migrants, women. They lack knowledge and skills to introduce digital and/or green solutions which could expand their business and/or make them more resilient to climate change and environmental threats. The Transform Together Fund project addresses this by supporting social finance actors in ideating and implementing solutions, that will help the target groups to bridge the gap.
The heart of Transform Together Fund is all about supporting positive change in the field of green or digital among the vulnerable groups! MFC and Cerise+SPTF will issue up to €50,000 grants for social finance actors: institutions, national microfinance associations, NGOs working on financial inclusion as well as clients/beneficiaries of those institutions with focus on low income: micro entrepreneurs, migrants, women.
With support of the grants, the social finance actors will develop and test a variety of innovative solutions – each of them should aim at helping the target group to improve their knowledge or practices in green or digital area. Apart grants, MFC and Cerise+SPTF will provide opportunities for grantees to participate in trainings and peer exchange related to green and digital solutions.
