Promoting sustainable and responsible finance in Cambodia through the Cambodian Microfinance Association

This document provides a comprehensive overview of ADA’s support for the development of the Cambodian microfinance sector from 2008 to 2022, including key results, lessons learnt and impact. Initially, ADA’s partnership with the Cambodian Microfinance Association (CMA) aimed at professionalizing the association, improving member services and strengthening communication and transparency. In 2018, ADA refocused this support for CMA on the promotion of responsible finance, transparency and client protection to address a growing awareness of the risks associated with over-indebtedness of microfinance clients.
