Over the past years, several of the regions where Oikocredit works with partners have experienced natural disasters or political upheaval. How do partners bounce back after such events and how does Oikocredit help them to increase their capacity to respond and adapt?
This edition features our work in Ukraine during the country’s period of political conflict, in Ecuador, after an earthquake devastated a cocoa-producing region and a study tour of the Philippines where investors witnessed our disaster management programme in action. It also presents a message for 2017 from Ging Ledesma, Oikocredit’s interim managing director.
