Brazil Trade Facilitation Programme The Brazil Trade Facilitation Programme is a 4-year, £14 million component of FCDO’s Brazil Prosperity Fund Programme. The programme aims to assist Brazil to increase trade flows, make foreign trade more inclusive in the country, creating jobs for women and men which will drive economic growth that supports inclusion, women’s economic opportunities and poverty reduction in the country.

The programme is divided into 2 key components: 

Ports Modernisation – The programme will focus on the three areas which will deliver the most effective time and cost savings in the ports: the Governance of the port community, the Processes that they use to move goods through the ports, and the Technology systems that support them. 

MSMEs Inclusion – The programme will improve access to guidance, information on exporting, and opportunities for millions of SMEs, while also providing intensive acceleration and linkage services to a subset of high growth, inclusive SMEs. Our programme will maximise the benefits for the Brazilian economy, optimise usage and allocation of existing public funds, deliver development impact in targeted regions, and create opportunities for UK businesses and investors.

MOBILIST seeks to partner with the financial services industry in developing listed products that can intermediate this capital, and in a form that responds to the prudential regulations and investment models that today define the scope of opportunity for institutional capital.
