Overview

The YEC Fund, anchored in Zimbabwe and extending its vision Pan-African, is dedicated to bolstering the economic fortitude of SMMEs through innovative blended finance structures. These structures are meticulously designed to crowd in philanthropic funds, effectively de-risking projects or investments, which in turn, fosters a more conducive environment for enhancing employment and empowerment opportunities for women and youth. As a distinguished member of the Haddock Investments Group of Companies, the YEC Fund leverages the viability gap model to address financial challenges inherent in projects, alongside structuring green bonds to promote sustainable investment in capital markets. These strategic financial interventions are aligned with the broader objective of driving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals Agenda, thus nurturing a sustainable and inclusive economic landscape.
