About Circlegeo
We are currently preparing a proposal in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under the ACliFF initiative (Asia-Pacific Climate Finance Framework), which focuses on strengthening climate resilience for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Cambodia. The project aims to support financial institutions (FIs) in assessing and managing climate risks that affect MSME credit portfolios by developing data-driven, scalable tools.

The project aims to enhance the capacity of financial institutions (FIs) in managing climate risks that affect MSMEs.
