Who is our customer
This is a multi-stakeholder project with UNCDF, which has its regional office in Bangkok, Thailand. UNCDF is the United Nations’ capital investment agency for the world’s least developed countries and has a mandate to provide capital and technical support, to ensure that more households and small businesses gain access to financial services that expand opportunities and reduce vulnerabilities. FMO client MFIs in Asia, as well as innovative start-ups will benefit from the project.
What is our funding objective?
The project is focused on addressing gender inequality in terms of the way women and women owned business access and consume financial products. It will address the way that microfinance institutions address this part of the market, and also provide funding to innovative solutions that use technology (i.e. Fintech) in order to overcome some of these barriers.
Why do we fund this investment?
This project is highly strategically relevant given the focus on financial inclusion from the perspective of gender and fintech.
