Strengthening our partners
We believe in empowering our partners to maximise their social impact. Through our capacity building programmes, we support them in strengthening their capacities or acquiring new skills, accessing advanced technologies and expanding their market reach. This way, our partners can make an even bigger difference in the lives of people with low incomes and their communities across the globe.

How we support our partners
Our partners are experts in what they do — we see it firsthand every day. We also know that, when given the right tools, they can improve their ability to make an even bigger impact. At Oikocredit, we provide tailored capacity building, offering hands-on services from our staff, strategic partnerships and programmes backed by donor funding. By working closely with our partners, we enhance their governance, financial management and social performance to ensure long-term sustainability and growth.




Where we make a difference
Our focus areas
Together, we create change. Our focus areas are where we make a real difference.
Financial inclusion
Can you imagine navigating life without access to essential financial tools like a savings account or a small loan for your business? Over a billion adults worldwide face this challenge every day. We work to change this by supporting organisations that provide essential financial services, tools and knowledge. Together, we open doors to a brighter financial future for all.
Agriculture
Picture the struggles of a farmer battling climate change. Smallholder farmers play a crucial role in local and global food production, yet they face immense difficulties, especially as a result of climate change. We invest in and strengthen initiatives that support these farmers, to enhance their resilience and improve their livelihoods.
Renewable Energy
For nearly 800 million people, living without reliable electricity or clean cooking options is a daily reality. We invest in sustainable energy solutions and support providers with the resources they need to bring clean cooking and reliable power to those who need it most, improving both health and living standards.
