After a successful conference in June 2011, wherein we discussed the need to improve financial access for our farmers and fisher folks, MMC in partnership with Planet Finance Japan and Japan International Cooperation Agency is launching a project dubbed "Improving Financial Access to Small Scale Farmers in Mindanao".
The project shall provide technical assistance to MFIs on developing Social Performance Management, Financial Education, and Market Research and Product Development. The objective is to be able to develop financial products and services targeting small scale farmers in rural areas in Regions 10, 11 and 12.
The project was formally launched on December 1, 2011 in Davao City. Individual agreements with MFIs followed in January 2012. Participating in the project are Cooperative Bank of Cotabato, Bansalan Cooperative Society and Milamdec Foundation.
