The Sakchyam Access to Finance for the Poor Programme (Sakchyam) is an initiative funded by UKaid as part of an 
agreement between the Governments of Nepal and the UK. It is implemented by Louis Berger for the Department for
International Development (DFID Nepal) in partnership with local and international institutions.
The 5-year programme, valued at £18.5 million ($29.6 million), is working with the public and private sectors to leverage
access and facilitate financial sector development in Nepal for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and for poor people
with a focus on the Mid- and Far-Western Regions (MWDR and FWDR), and beyond.
