Solidarity Bankers Missions in Senegal, Cambodia and Kenya

© Philippe Lissac

Solidarity Banker is a new type of volunteer mission abroad offered to Group employees on behalf of microfinance institutions or social impact companies that are partners of the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation. Three missions are available: one "digital" in Senegal, one "HR/management" in Cambodia, and one "strategy" in Kenya.

The missions to be filled

A "digital" mission for Kossam in Senegal is planned for June-July 2019. Kossam is a social enterprise whose mission is to develop and establish an inclusive and sustainable dairy sector around Richard Toll, in northern Senegal. To achieve this, Kossam collects milk from 450 local farmers, provides them with marketing services, and provides advice and training. The Solidarity Banker will be responsible for supporting Kossam in the deployment of a digital application, "commcare collection."

An HR/management mission is planned for the second quarter of 2019 to support Cirque Phare (PPSE) in Cambodia. PPSE provides employment opportunities for Cambodian artists and sustains the country's arts sector. PPSE has now entered a growth phase and requires strengthening certain aspects of its management, particularly in terms of strategy, finance, and human resources. The Solidarity Banker will be responsible for proposing monitoring tools and making recommendations on the organizational structure.

A strategy mission for ACRE Africa in Kenya will take place in the second/third quarter of 2019. Based in Kenya, but also present in Tanzania and Rwanda, ACRE Africa offers crop insurance services to smallholder farmers. ACRE decided in 2018 to diversify its activities to offer consulting services and to change its business model, moving from a B to C to a B to B model. The Solidarity Banker will be responsible for analyzing the organization's new strategy and evaluating its business model.
