Overview
MCE strategically deploys debt capital to two types of institutions:
Financial Service Providers (FSPs)
that create opportunities and improve the economic security of their micro- and small business clients by loans, savings, and insurance. These providers also offer ancillary services such as technical assistance and financial literacy programs to bolster their clients’ growth.
Small and Growing Businesses (SGBs)
in agriculture, the garment industry, and other sectors that create sustainable jobs in rural economies, raise smallholder farmers’ income, and increase resilience.
As of June 2026, MCE’s total portfolio consisted of $90 million outstanding in 55 Financial Service Providers (FSPs) and 9 Small and Growing Businesses (SGBs) operating in 35 countries throughout Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, Central Asia and the Caucasus, and Eastern Europe.
“MCE’s portfolio consists of an incredible array of organizations dedicated to reaching the most underserved populations around the world. I am proud of the MCE team and the organizations that we support, whose track records clearly demonstrate that there are financially viable, market-driven solutions to poverty.”
— Dan Brunner, Chair of MCE’s FSP Loan Committee and MCE Guarantor since 2005
