Stanbic Bank believes that the small businesses of today have potential to become the big businesses of tomorrow. With this in mind, the Bank is committed to helping SMEs in Botswana's ecosystem thrive into a truly sustainable and successful future through this partnership. The UNDP business SDP's Project Manager, Boitumelo Mbaakanyi, said, "As part of our ongoing mentorship programme, and guidance delivered by engaged SDP consultants, it has been diagnosed that cashflow acquisition, management and optimal utilisation has been a common and major challenge that SMEs enrolled in this programme, as suppliers, are encountering. Stanbic Bank is expected to fill this gap, in partnership with the SDP Consultants, who will ensure that any business credit facility applied for is: necessary, adequate, affordable and relevant for the type of business operations."
