They are looking for a bank that takes them seriously, and that is exactly what this partnership enables us to be,\u201d said Vincent Marangu, Director Co-operatives Banking Division, Co-operative Bank of Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>The DigiKen programme reflects a broader shift in Kenya\u2019s financial sector towards recognizing digital platforms as bankable enterprises, particularly as youth-led startups increasingly drive innovation in commerce, logistics and services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccess to affordable finance remains one of the biggest barriers to investments for MSMEs operating in Kenya\u2019s digital platform economy,\u201d said Omon Ukpoma-Olaiya, Regional Investment Team Lead (East &amp; Southern Africa &amp; Arab States) at the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough this guarantee facility with Co-operative Bank of Kenya, UNCDF will help reduce lending risks and unlock capital for innovative MSMEs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond digital platforms, the partnership also integrates a climate-linked financing component through the Kenya Post-Harvest Solar Cooling Programme.<\/p>\n<p>This will fund solar-powered cold storage and post-harvest infrastructure for agri-SMEs and rural enterprises many of which are increasingly integrating digital tools into their operations.<\/p>\n<p>Combined, the two programmes are expected to support a total lending portfolio of Sh756 million ($5.84 million), aligning with Kenya\u2019s dual push for digital transformation and climate resilience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The deal establishes a shared-risk lending facility under the Digital Platforms Kenya Programme, with an initial Sh233.1 million earmarked for youth-driven and digitally enabled small businesses over the next two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14438,"featured_media":113637,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1467],"tags":[6248,27012,7941,27010,27011],"coauthors":[9476],"class_list":["post-113636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-companies","tag-co-op-bank","tag-credit-push","tag-target","tag-uncdf","tag-youth-led-digital-platforms"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Co-op Bank, UNCDF target youth-led digital platforms in Sh233mn credit push - Capital Business<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The deal establishes a shared-risk lending facility under the Digital Platforms Kenya Programme, with an initial Sh233.1 million earmarked for youth-driven and digitally enabled small businesses over the next two years.
