Inclusive Growth: Making Access to Finance a reality for women shea collectors
In 2023, the Global Shea Alliance, in collaboration with Advans Ghana under the Shea Business Empowerment Programme (SBEP) being implemented in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, launched a credit facility tailored to the peculiarities of the shea industry and
specifically, women shea collectors. The model, developed in consultation with the women shea co-operatives, was piloted during the 2023 shea season, involving 12 co-operatives, 1,937 women shea collectors and over GHs 500,000.
