Subproject 1 will build on the ongoing work under the previous SCFP TA and help continue to implement and expand SCFP in view of the additional financing approved in 2018. An important element of Subproject 1, and a feature that also distinguishes SCFP from TFP, concerns its focus on assessing and monitoring SME and corporate risk. Subproject 1 will fund the engagement of consultants who will continue to focus on obligor risk assessments and monitoring and administration of SCF transactions.
Since SCF is relatively new or does not materially exist in some markets, continued capacity building and knowledge-sharing events will be important to support both the growth of SCF and SCFP. Thus, Subproject 1 will also undertake activities related to capacity development and knowledge- sharing to support DMC companies including SMEs, as well as DMC banks and regulators.

| Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | ADB's strategic priorities, as set forth in the Midterm Review of Strategy 2020, include finance sector development, poverty reduction, and inclusive economic growth. ADB's approach to inclusive economic growth emphasizes inclusive finance by improving and expanding access to finance for SMEs. Inclusive finance is one of the three pillars of ADB's Financial Sector Operational Plan, which was reaffirmed in its 2017 review. One component of the strategic focus of ADB's Private Sector Operations Department is to mobilize third-party capital credit through credit enhancement products and risk transfer arrangements. The program facilitates this by encouraging private sector contributions to supply chain finance and enabling ADB to provide support to SMEs not traditionally considered bankable. |
