InFiNe Welcomes FIT (Financing Innovation Tool)

We are pleased to announce that FIT (Financing Innovation Tool) has joined the Inclusive Finance Network Luxembourg (InFiNe) as our newest member.

Launched in May 2023 by ADA in partnership with Luxembourg Cooperation, FIT is a Société d’Impact Sociétal (SIS) designed to address the chronic shortage of flexible, risk-tolerant, long-term capital for innovative, impact-oriented initiatives in developing countries.

Threefold Mission

FIT’s mission centers on three key objectives: strengthening the financial sustainability of impact initiatives, enhancing their investment readiness, and amplifying their social and environmental impact.
The organization supports a diverse portfolio of ventures promoting inclusive and sustainable development globally; from women-led investment initiatives in Senegal to solar equipment leasing for SMEs in Guatemala. Their integrated approach combines catalytic financial instruments with facilitated access to targeted capacity-building support.

“Donate to Invest” Model

Through its innovative “Donate to Invest” model, FIT positions inclusive finance as a strategic lever for sustainable development. The organization deploys donor funding into catalytic financing that unlocks transformative impact and directly contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
FIT operates as more than a financing mechanism: it functions as a platform for systemic change, fostering a more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable financial ecosystem. In contexts where traditional funding mechanisms fail to reach vulnerable populations, FIT plays a catalytic role by bridging the gap between innovation and inclusion.

Global Reach and Impact Focus

FIT’s geographic focus spans Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America & Caribbean, and Asia-Pacific regions. The organization targets a wide range of beneficiaries including microfinance institutions, SMEs, rural communities, women, youth, and financial service providers.

Their expertise covers MFI funding and investment, social and environmental performance, youth entrepreneurship, women’s financial inclusion, impact measurement, green/climate finance, and microfinance.
