It aims to contribute to the reduction of the negative impact of cross-border investments on human rights, the environment and climate change, particularly those made by multinational financial institutions, banks and insurers, and to increase inclusive economic development. Currently, FFA is operational at regional level and in 8 countries across Asia, namely - Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam – wherein national FFA civil society organization (CSO) coalitions together with regional partners lead research and engagement with the program’s key stakeholders including financial regulatory and policymaking institutions, banking and investment associations, multilateral development banks and the academia. FFA’s regional program management unit is stationed in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The FFA program works in close alignment with Fair Finance International (FFI). FFI’s assessment methodology on the policy and practices of national financial institutions form part.

The results areas for the FFA Program are as follows:

1. Financial institutions (FIs) operating across the region increasingly adopt or improve sustainable finance policies, practices and public disclosure.
2. Regulators and governments increase independent monitoring of FI policy, practice and accountability and transparency, and improve the regulation of FIs, including through mandatory regulation.
3. Regional financial sector actors take increasing actions to require and enforce improved standards for FIs’ policies, practices, accountability and transparency.
4. Strong and resilient civil society across the region effectively influences the sustainable finance agenda across the region, integrating a gender lens and community voice
5. Other actors (intermediary stakeholders) have increased awareness and take increased action to influence the sustainable finance agenda
