Ondo State CBN Creative Industry Financing Initiative (CIFI) Loan Scheme
The Creative Industry Financing Initiative (CIFI) is a loan scheme developed in collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to provide access to long term and low interest financing for entrepreneurs in the creative industry such as, Fashion, Music, Movies, Gaming, Information Technology, and others.
To achieve this vision, Envivo Communications has partnered with CBN to run internship programs and all interns have to apply for the loan scheme to participate in any of these programs.
As part of the program interns are mentored and taken through an incubation process leading to a tech venture or solution that will be taken to market. These ventures will also be seed funded through another CBN loan, under the AGSMEIS program.
