EVALUATION DESIGN

The Gambia Growth & Competitiveness Project (GCP)

•Participating Banks to make a public notice inviting applications for the Credit

Facility available for MSMEs within a specified period of time [Participating

Banks will receive training and TA on assessing MSMEs risk]

•Approved applicants to be randomly separated as Treatment and Control

groups

•Credit will be made available to the Treatment group immediately while the

Control group will receive the credit in eight (8) months. This is to determine the

short term impact of the Partial Credit Guarantee scheme

Sampling & Data

Sample: All MSME applicants pre-approved by the participating banks

as eligible for credit under the partial credit guarantee facility of the

Growth and Competitiveness Project (GCP).

The treatment and control group will be randomly selected from the

pre-approved applicants

NB: The number of guaranteed loans cannot be determined at this

point; the lack of credit is a major constraint for MSMEs in The Gambia

it is therefore expected that many applications under this facility will be

received but details of the loans will be determined by the bank
