Since its foundation in 1984, FUNDES has been a pioneering and visionary organization in developing the region’s private sector. Its efforts have focused on strengthening the business capacity of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in order to improve their position in the markets and transform the sectors, regions, and overall business-enabling environment.
FUNDES’s efforts have set the pace for creating a business development services market in Latin America geared toward the MSME. Likewise, it has helped prioritize MSMEs on the development agenda of governments, the private sector and international entities, all of which support FUNDES to carry out its mission.
FUNDES is operating in 10 countries throughout Latin America, encouraging the development of MSMEs, along with more than 250 collaborators.
