PlaNet Finance - “Supporting Financial Access via Cooperative Upgrading and Enterprise and Farm Development in Kayin State” - 2016

Project Description:

PlaNet Finance, an implementing agency for the EU-funded project “Supporting Financial Access via Cooperative Upgrading and Enterprise and Farm Development in Kayin State”, was currently implementing a three year project aimed at establishing two savings and credit cooperatives to expand financial inclusion to at least 2,000 households in 35 villages in Hlaingbwe township, Myanmar.

The project would also support the members of the cooperatives to undertake new or enhanced farm or enterprise activities that would generate increased income for them. The cooperatives would provide credit for their members to invest in these new income-generating activities as well as a safe place to save in order to increase income and build wealth in this post-conflict area of Myanmar.
