The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, by initiative of Minister Koenders of Development, has in 2007 initiated the Schokland Fund to help realize the millennium development goals in 2015. This Fund of E 50m stimulates private, innovative partnerships that contribute to the millenium development goals and contribute substantially themselves in realizing the goals. The Ministry has awarded InReturn with a grant of E 487.000 for the InReturn East Africa Fund, because of the innovative approach in helping small and medium enterprises grow and realize direct jobs. The award works as a catalyst towards private investors and enables the fund to help the investees make their business sustainable, both from a financial and environmental and social point of view. |
