Sanadcom is a microfinance institution in Jordan established in 2014. Sanadcom's goal is to promote economic growth and employment by providing financing solutions for SMEs that are not served by microfinance institutions or commercial banks. An important sub-segment of such SMEs are small and medium-sized enterprises owned or managed by women. In order to implement their new strategy, it was important not only to adapt policies and procedures. Own behavior and interactions were also developed and reflected on with the help of workshops and example situations. In addition to the training components, in which all Sanadcom employees took part, trainers were trained to train future employees. The entire Sanadcom team was able to sharpen its view of the needs of companies owned or managed by women - and also identified first steps to further improve their own products and services.
