Financial Services in a Value ChainAn Example of Islamic Lending
Sub-Sector: Hand Weaving Industry, Islampur, District Swat Product/s
1. ContextOverall Goal: Resilient and improved livelihood systems to cope with natural- or conflict-related vulnerabilities
Predominantly rural, irrigated agriculture High degree of degradation of natural environmentVery vulnerable to climate change hazards, serious impact on livelihoods
Livelihood Project, Hindukush, PakistanImplemented by HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation
Funded by Swiss Agency for Development and Corporation

Past Involvements of HSI in the Sector:HSI subsidized 50% of the cost of handlooms to 10 weavers Weavers increased their income by 50%Weavers could now act independently Tremendous demand for similar support from 1,000 + hand weavers of the area " HSI had to think of a sustainable market-based solution
Outline of main Interventions Understanding of the Market by Asasah itselfDevelopment of need based financial productsCertifying the products from AlHuda, a certifying bodyTesting the products
Key features Financial products are designed according to the needs and culture of communities especially for poor weaving communitiesFinancial service provider trains entrepreneurs on financial literacy and business developmentFinancial service provider supports weavers in their businesses management (coaching)Micro finance organisation takes a share in the entrepreneurial risk: profit and losses are shared between client and micro finance provider
2. Constraints for woven products in market system2.1 Output Markets
National as well as export markets (Afghanistan) have been a traditional market for the woven products. This market is negatively impacted by the regional conflict. Transactions not done by cash but in kind Seasonal market demand Higher income market segments wants design changing with fashion; however, no support for weavers to adopt new design that is in demand by the market
2.2 Input supplyWeavers get imported mixed woollen yarn of low qualityNo spinning units in the region
2.3 Capital Middlemen provide advance to weavers; weavers are essentially bonded to middlemenNo alternative source of capital for weavers in the area
