ACRE (Access to Capital for Rural Enterprises) was a consortium of five international NGOs (Christian Aid, Practical Action, Traidcraft, Twin and Challenges Worldwide) aiming to source and support rural enterprises with the potential to create jobs, deliver systemic benefits to the value chains in which they operate, and benefit people experiencing poverty and marginalisation.

Small Foundation provided support to ACRE to build regional capacity in Africa.
