BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT
Fair Finance Asia (FFA) is a five-year program funded by the Swedish Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand. FFA is a network of over 90 civil society organizations (CSOs) in Asia working to ensure that financial institutions operating in Asia are transparent and accountable to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria in their business activities and investment decisions. FFA aspires to contribute to the reduction of inequality in Asia by creating an enabling policy environment for the integration of social and environmental considerations among financial institutions (FIs) in the region and ensuring that FIs advance the interests and needs of local communities toward their rights and well-being.
Currently, FFA is operational at the regional level and in 10 countries across Asia, namely – Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Lao PDR, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. FFA’s regional Executive Team (ET) is stationed in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The results areas of FFA are as follows:
- Financial institutions (FIs) operating across the region increasingly adopt or improve sustainable finance policies, practices, and public disclosure.
- Regulators and governments increase independent monitoring of FI policy, practice and accountability and transparency, and improve the regulation of FIs, including through mandatory regulation.
- Regional financial sector actors take increasing actions to require and enforce improved standards for FIs’ policies, practices, accountability, and transparency.
- Strong and resilient civil society across the region effectively influences the sustainable finance agenda across the region, integrating a gender lens and community voice.
- Other actors (intermediary stakeholders) have increased awareness and take increased action to influence the sustainable finance agenda.
