In a world facing climate challenges, sustainable development is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. At ADAF, we believe that financial solutions must support both economic growth and environmental stewardship.
Our Green Finance Program provides small loans for eco-friendly projects such as:
Solar-powered water pumps for irrigation
Biogas systems for clean energy
Reforestation and agroforestry initiatives
"The future of finance is green. By empowering our clients to invest in sustainable projects, we are building a more resilient planet for future generations." — Dr. Marie S. Fofana, ADAF Head of R&D— Dr. Marie S. Fofana, ADAF Head of R&D
Community-Led Reforestation
One of our flagship projects involves partnering with the MUFFA cooperative in the West Region to combat deforestation. We provided micro-credits for the purchase of fast-growing tree seedlings and trained community members on sustainable forestry techniques. Within a year, they planted over 5,000 trees, revitalizing the local ecosystem and creating a new source of income from non-timber forest products.
The Impact of Green Loans:
-
Reduced Carbon Footprint: Clients transition from diesel generators to solar panels, significantly cutting emissions.
-
Increased Crop Yields: Efficient irrigation systems lead to better harvests, enhancing food security.
-
Enhanced Resilience: Communities are better prepared to adapt to the effects of climate change.
ADAF is committed to expanding our green initiatives. We are currently developing a new mobile app to track the environmental impact of our projects and provide clients with real-time data on their sustainability goals.
