About the 6th GLF Investment Case Symposium

The event featured 106 speakers and 100 global and local partner organizations and reached 10 million people on social media, with more than 230,000 engagements.

About the session

ADA Microfinance holds long-standing expertise in microfinance in agriculture in Africa, Central America, and Southeast Asia. More recently, since 2022, it has supported the strengthening of forestry value chains through support to small forest owners and wood processing SMEs in Guatemala, pursuing the double objective of enhanced resilience and environmental sustainability.

The session provides insights on lessons learned from these experiences on two continents and an outlook on future activities for which ADA is looking for partners.
