Asian Development Bank (ADB) has signed a technical assistance agreement with FINCA Azerbaijan within the framework of its private sector operations.
Under the agreement, ADB will provide technical assistance worth $400,000 to support FINCA Azerbaijan towards further institutional development and capacity building.
“The signing of this technical assistance agreement between the Asian Development Bank and FINCA Azerbaijan is an important milestone in our relationship.

FINCA Azerbaijan anticipates utilizing the technical assistance towards the implementation of a scoring-based decision model to enhance loan decision-making and also for the expansion of previous efforts to add additional loan delivery channels beyond cash desks.
