Technical Assistance
At DIG Capital, we understand that successful fund management requires more than just capital. That’s why we provide a range of technical assistance services to our fund clients, aimed at enhancing their capacity, strengthening their operations, and ultimately increasing their impact in the communities they serve. Below are some of the key technical assistance services we offer:
Fund Application Support: We understand that applying for funding can be a daunting task, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises in developing and emerging economies. That’s why we provide comprehensive fund application support to our clients, helping them navigate the application process and ensure that their proposals are strong, well-structured, and aligned with the objectives of the fund.
Capacity Strengthening: For many of our clients, particularly small businesses and startups, building internal capacity is a key priority. We work closely with our clients to identify areas where capacity strengthening is needed and develop tailored solutions to help them build the skills and expertise they need to succeed. This may involve training and coaching in areas such as financial management, marketing, and operations, or providing access to networks and mentorship opportunities.
Improving Financial Literacy: Financial literacy is a critical component of successful fund management, particularly for organizations that are operating in complex and rapidly changing markets. As part of our technical assistance services, we offer financial literacy training to our clients, helping them to build the knowledge and skills they need to make informed financial decisions and manage their resources effectively. This may include training in areas such as financial planning, budgeting, and risk management.
At DIG Capital, we are committed to providing comprehensive technical assistance services to our fund clients, aimed at helping them to build the capacity they need to succeed. Our team of experts has the experience and knowledge to support organizations of all sizes and sectors, and we are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their goals and make a positive impact in the communities they serve.

Key Projects
EMKAN Support – Microfinance Technical Assistance
DIG provided comprehensive on-site technical assistance and senior management to support Emkan in its goal of becoming one of the largest microfinance institutions in Lebanon.
Technical Assistance to Tameer Microfinance Bank
In 2007, DIG secured its second contract with Tameer Microfinance Bank in Pakistan for the provision of technical assistance under the umbrella of CGAP Retail Advisory Services (RAS) program. To further support Tameer’s shift from a typical bank model using outreach and relationship teams to a more traditional MFI model using loan officers, DIG conducted a needs assessment of the organization; designed, carried out, and analyzed a market demand assessment; and provided intensive training and technical assistance.
Haiti Rebati Facility
DIG managed a ten-year, USD 14 million program in Haiti comprising a USD 8 million housing finance facility (Rebati) co-financed by the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund (CBHF). The Rebati facility played a vital role in long-term reconstruction efforts by providing a systemic solution to finance the construction and repair of homes and businesses through Haiti’s existing financial sector infrastructure, with a specific focus on the country’s working poor.
