About Mission Alliance
Mission Alliance is a faith-based, Christian, NGO with headquarters in Norway. We aim to fight poverty and promote justice by being close, capable, and brave. We have fought poverty through sustainable development for over 100 years in South America, Asia, and Africa. Mission Alliance operates microfinance banks on these three continents. We have worked in Cambodia through local partnerships throughout the country since 2007 with a focus on community development in the areas of education, livelihoods, and natural resource management.
About Business for Development (BfD)
In January 2022, we started to implement the Business for Development (BfD) project. BfD is another arm of Mission Alliance beyond our existing extensive work in community development and microfinance. With the new Business for Development project, we are now expanding our work to support local businesses. We work with some SMEs, primarily in the agriculture sector. We are helping businesses access relevant competency, technical support, market expansion, and finance through a wide network of partners.
