KfW Fellowship Program

KfW is one of the leading investors in microfinance worldwide. One of its subsidiaries, DEG, was a founding shareholder of ACLEDA Bank. ACLEDA Bank is considered as one of the premier microfinance banks worldwide and the leading retail bank in Cambodia and received the Client Leadership Award from the International Finance Corporation (IFC).

The Fellowship Program is financed by KfW, Frankfurt am Main, supported by the Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia, represented by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and managed by ACLEDA Bank.

KfW and ACLEDA Bank are both keen to respond to microfinance capacity building needs in the region and work together to address this need through the KfW Fellowship Program.

Purpose

The purpose of the KfW Fellowship Program is for the ASEAN Region and China to build microfinance capacity of practitioners, policy makers, regulators and other people relevant to the development of microfinance. Increased capacity at all levels of the financial system will have an impact on creating viable financial institutions that provide access to finance to micro and small businesses in their countries.
