Giving small businesses the capital to grow
The Fostering Inclusive Finance for MSMEs in Nigeria program (FINCLUDE) is designed to expand the availability and quality of finance for more than 250,000 micro, small, and medium enterprises in job-intensive sectors, with 30 percent of financing targeted to women-led businesses. A $500 million package from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Development Association combines financing and risk-sharing tools to encourage financial institutions and other investors to provide additional capital to underserved firms. The program is expected to mobilize nearly $1.89 billion in private financing and support an estimated 850,000 direct and indirect jobs.

Israeli settlers attack European diplomats during West Bank olive harvest - Al Jazeera
Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
