Community-Based Societies: A Key to Inclusive and Sustainable Development

As part of the national strategy to promote inclusive and sustainable development, community-based societies play a central role. These structures encourage fair management of local resources and strengthen the economic autonomy of regions, while addressing socio-economic challenges.

BIAT, a key player in the national economic ecosystem, goes beyond its traditional financing role. It distinguishes itself as a true partner in accompaniment, training, and consulting, offering comprehensive support to entrepreneurs of community-based societies.

Accompaniment and Training: Pillars for Project Success

As part of its commitment, BIAT participated in the training program organized by the Banking and Financial Council (CBF). The program, divided into two sessions, covered essential themes such as governance, administrative and financial management, project strategy, and sustainable development.

BIAT specifically led two days of training focused on accounting and finance, enhancing the capacities of community-based society managers. This technical accompaniment aims to structure these entities and maximize their economic and social impact, while facilitating access to financing.

An Inclusive and Sustainable Vision

BIAT recently signed a partnership agreement with the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training to finance community-based societies. This partnership highlights BIAT's commitment to sustainable and inclusive economic development.

BIAT also offers personalized accompaniment to guide entrepreneurs in implementing and sustaining their projects. With its expertise, BIAT's teams accompany these structures in setting up their project financing and help them overcome operational challenges and seize growth opportunities.

A dedicated team at the bank's headquarters centralizes the entire accompaniment process for community-based societies. They accompany entrepreneurs at every stage, offering personalized advice, follow-up, and support tailored to their needs. Moreover, BIAT's network of 205 agencies is mobilized to provide practical information and receive files in the best conditions.

A Committed Partner for Sustainable Impact

As a reference actor, BIAT positions itself as a catalyst for transformation for community-based societies. By combining strategic advice, tailored training, and adapted financial solutions, it supports local entrepreneurs in building sustainable projects that contribute to the development of regions.

As a responsible bank, BIAT actively contributes to economic and social development, fostering the emergence of local initiatives and strengthening community dynamics. This commitment illustrates the bank's willingness to participate in inclusive, sustainable, and responsible growth, by putting its expertise and resources at the service of high-impact projects.
