The African Guarantee Fund (AGF) is a pan-African non-bank financial institution that operates across multiple African countries, including Chad. It was established in 2011 by development partners such as the African Development Bank, Denmark, and Spain to improve access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Unlike traditional lenders, AGF does not give loans directly to individuals or businesses. Instead, it works with banks and financial institutions by providing guarantees that reduce the risk of lending to SMEs. This makes it easier for businesses to access funding and supports economic growth, job creation, and poverty reduction across Africa.
