Other prominent ANDE members include UKAID, Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Swiss Agency for Development and Corporation (SDC), United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), and International Finance Corporation (IFC). ANDE is the sole global organization dedicated to SGBs, and membership offers resource sharing among members, tools for metrics and consultations, and discounted trainings and seminars. Joining ANDE will raise MCC’s profile among local, regional, and global partners, and demonstrate its commitment to developing the capacity of SGBs through robust capital supply chains.
