ADA asbl is a Luxembourg based NGO that has been working on the topic of financial inclusion for more than 20 years. Since early 2016, a new strategic orientation was given to develop new activities focused on supporting small and growing businesses, particularly social enterprises, since our experience indicates that microfinance tends to encourage the reproduction of existing micro enterprise activities with limited growth potential. ADA is therefore currently exploring the SGB sector to better define future interventions. We aim to carry out action research projects in several countries with local partners in order to 1) identify SGBs within or outside of a partner's portfolio
