ADA Releases Its Strategic Plan 2026–2030: Scaling Impact Through Inclusive and Impact Finance

ADA has released its Strategic Plan 2026–2030, setting out an ambitious roadmap to strengthen its contribution to vulnerable populations through inclusive finance, catalytic capital and broader impact economy solutions. The new strategy reflects the organisation’s continued evolution from financial inclusion towards a more integrated impact finance approach.

Founded in Luxembourg, ADA has long played a key role in supporting local actors across Africa, Central America and Southeast Asia. Through technical assistance, investment advisory services and knowledge management, the organisation works to empower local economic systems and expand access to opportunities for underserved communities.

A Vision for 2030

By 2030, ADA aims to have positively impacted 1.5 million people and supported more than 400 grassroots organisations, further consolidating its position as an internationally recognised actor supporting vulnerable populations through the impact economy.

Its new strategy is built around five priorities:

  • integrating investment and impact finance more systematically with technical assistance
  • reinforcing methodologies that place local actors at the centre of development solutions
  • strengthening organisational efficiency and capabilities
  • improving impact measurement and knowledge sharing
  • diversifying financial resources, including private capital mobilisation.

Inclusive Finance as a Core Lever for Resilience

The plan reaffirms that inclusive finance remains essential for helping vulnerable populations seize economic opportunities and better manage shocks through tailored services such as savings, credit, insurance and payments. At the same time, ADA positions impact finance as a critical tool to strengthen the organisations delivering these solutions.

Luxembourg Expertise with Global Reach

ADA also highlights the importance of collaboration with Luxembourg and international ecosystem partners, including networks active in inclusive finance and impact investing. This reflects Luxembourg’s growing role as a hub connecting finance expertise with measurable social impact.

The publication of this strategy is an important milestone for the inclusive finance community and demonstrates how Luxembourg-based actors continue to shape practical solutions to global development challenges.
