Working towards 35 Years of Growth and Impact in Emerging Markets
Rabo Partnerships has always been at the forefront of scaling solutions to drive impact in food and financial systems by utilizing the knowledge, networks and financial strength of Rabobank. It is with great I pleasure that we present our latest impact report to you, this year in a new format.
We continue to highlight our key figures from 2023 and showcase how our partners in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America progressed and interacted with colleagues from all over the globe. The new format will bring our work to life in new ways, as it allows you to engage with videos featuring our colleagues.
Discover how our blended finance solution supported Rabobank’s rural client Agro Sao Jose in Brazil in the transition towards sustainable agriculture, applying regenerative principles. Learn about our investment in Avanti in India, which advances financial inclusion by providing smallholder farmers with access to affordable, hyperlocal credit products. Or get to know more about the strategic collaboration with NBS Bank, a financial institution in Malawi serving around 350,000 customers with a broad range of banking services.
Additionally, we’ve included an interview with an alumni of our annual Future Leadership Program, a leadership program for talents from our Partner banks, where she shares the invaluable lessons gained.
All these stories give insight into how tangible results are achieved through collaboration and provide proof of how we perceive partnerships as a winning concept for driving transitions.
Next year we will celebrate 35 years of crafting partnerships, a milestone that cannot go unnoticed. We will look back on the journey so far, but more importantly, we will look forward and stay close to our mission: enabling partners in emerging markets to offer financial services that will impact rural livelihoods, F&A finance and profitability.
I am proud of the report and the underlying results achieved, but more importantly, proud of the joy and drive of all people involved - in my opinion, the defining success factor for what we call Partnerships!
Warm regards,
Marianne Schoemaker
CEO Rabo Partnerships
