Then & Now: Mwaba makes an impact by blending profit, purpose

GAFSP's new $75 million investment window is a promising step towards addressing the urgent need for financial innovation in the agri-food sector. By de-risking private investments and supporting #blendedfinance solutions, GAFSP is creating a more enabling environment for transformative agricultural investments, particularly in underserved regions. This initiative has the potential to significantly boost #foodsecurity and agricultural development in low-income countries, especially as the global food system faces increasing challenges due to climate change and supply chain disruptions. It's worth noting that the parties participating in this BIFT pilot (African Development Bank Group (AfDB), Asian Development Bank (ADB), IDB Invest, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and IFC - International Finance Corporation) have been important players in the SME #agribusiness space in various developing countries. One can only hope that the pilot will be a great success and that the project will thereafter be widely implemented. 😊 https://lnkd.in/dVm7uG3j

🌱 We recently had an insightful meeting with Bank SinoPac, a leading financial institution making significant strides in Southeast Asia. Their planned acquisition of Amret, Cambodia's largest microfinance deposit-taking institution by total assets, marks a pivotal expansion of financial services in the region. 💡 During our discussion, we emphasized the crucial role of accessible risk information in achieving sustainable finance. Improved risk assessment is vital for both lenders and borrowers, especially in rural and agricultural sectors where information gaps often exist. 🚜 At konektAgri, we're committed to developing solutions that enhance risk mitigation in rural and agricultural financing. By providing better access to reliable data and analytics, we aim to empower farmers and financial institutions alike, fostering a more resilient agricultural economy. 🤝 We're excited about the potential collaborations that can drive positive change and support sustainable growth in Cambodia's agriculture sector. #BankSinopac #Amret #konektAgri #SustainableFinance #CambodiaAgriculture
