We help in the promotion of MSMEs to
empower national economies.

CEFE International enables people and support their governments to improve living conditions

by empowering their economies.

About us

CEFE International has two faces: On one side, we work as a consulting company in the sphere of private sector promotion and on the other side, we focus on strengthening the global CEFE community by coordinating our network of experts. Our overall goal is the promotion of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and start-ups to empower national economies.

How do we do it?

We act, with our daily work, on the micro and meso level, which means: training, coaching and mentoring people to become entrepreneurs or improve their business and supporting organizations and projects to empower MSMEs. We contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals by enabling lasting income generation, job creation, business growth and strengthening business service providers.

Through the recent decade we have been able to complement and expand our services for promotion of MSMEs:

Promoting Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)
Empowering Start-ups
Supporting Bizz Cooperation

Our Goal and Values

Our overall goal is the promotion of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to empower national economies; for this purpose, we have set up a couple of ground rules that guide our daily work and the way how we work and interact with our team members, clients, external partners, experts, and beneficiaries.

Team Spirit

We strongly believe that teamwork is essential to deliver our service. We work in collaboration and mutual respect with everyone who is pulling together to achieve our project’s goals.

Reliability

We believe “consistency” is the key to building trust in our working relationships. Our work is client satisfaction oriented, but our main goal is to provide the best innovative solutions that our beneficiaries need to overcome current challenges.

Innovation

We assume a deep commitment to continuous improvement and challenge ourselves and each other to provide the best tools and services that help ventures and MSMEs to overcome current challenges.

Communication

We communicate proactively to build collaborative, meaningful and sustainable relationships between our team members and stakeholders. We communicate our message with clarity, concision and confidence while actively listening.

“Our clients, team members, CEFE experts and beneficiaries are our key stakeholders. We consider them in every decision that we take.”

Over the years, CEFE International contributes to the achievement of the SDGs.
