TA provides hands-on support in:

  • Governance and strategy
  • Risk management and internal control
  • Product design (credit, savings, MSME/agri)
  • Human resources and performance management
  • Finance and accounting
  • Marketing and client relationship management (CRM)
  • Management Information Systems (MIS) and reporting
  • Institutional transformation.

Who Qualifies

  • Financial institutions funded by REGMIFA, with priority to small and medium-sized PLIs.
  • Projects that address clear operational needs and have committed leadership and staff involvement.

Where TA Operates

Across REGMIFA’s target countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.

How TA Works (Typical Steps & Timeline)

  1. Expression of interest: Send an email to taf@regmifa.com with a brief description on the TA needs.
  2. Diagnostic & scoping (1–3 weeks): Define objectives, deliverables and budget.
  3. Procurement (1 month): Transparent, competitive selection from REGMIFA consultant pool; Direct contracting possible in justified cases (e.g., continuity, niche expertise).
  4. Delivery (3 to 9 months, depending on scope and up to 24 months for TA packages):  Fieldwork, training, tools, pilots and coaching with clear milestones.
  5. Handover & Follow-Up: Knowledge transfer and  monitoring & evaluation (M&E).

Cost-Sharing (Ownership Model)

TA is co-financed with PLIs to ensure commitment and sustainability. Typical PLI contributions range from 10–30%, calibrated to maturity, size, and financial strength.

Safeguards & Principles

  • High-quality consultancy delivered through fair, transparent procedures.
  • Client-needs-based design and knowledge transfer for continuity.
  • Integration of ESG and client protection principles

Governance

The TA Facility operates as an independent entity separate from the Fund, overseen by a dedicated TA Facility Committee with its own rules and procedures.
