Colombo, Sri Lanka: The Agricultural and Rural Development Bank (ARDB) received the 2026 ADFIAP Development Award for its Tri-Party Market-Linked Financing Program at the 49th Annual Meeting of the Association of Development Financing Institutions in Asia and the Pacific (ADFIAP), held from September 23 to 25, 2026, in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

The Tri-Party Market-Linked Financing Program is a new initiative by ARDB to provide innovative financial solutions for farmers and all stakeholders across agricultural and agro-industrial value chains.

Receiving this prestigious award demonstrates ARDB’s commitment as an institution that not only contributes to advancing financial inclusion but also strengthens business resilience for farmers. It also recognizes ARDB’s efforts to support farmers, strengthen agricultural and agro-industrial value chains, and promote the development of a more resilient and sustainable agricultural sector in Cambodia.
