Local procurement by donors multiplies the economic impact of aid. The Peace Dividend Marketplace projects help local SMEs win donor procurement contracts, redirecting over $537m into local economies to date. The Factor Finance For Procurement (3FP) concept will increase this by providing Line of Credit guarantees so smaller SMEs can bid on larger contracts, unleashing more aid money locally.
