VisionFund is World Vision’s microfinance provider serving vulnerable clients through loans, savings, and insurance. We enable families to grow their livelihoods in hard to reach, rural locations in 25 countries so that caregivers can create secure futures for their children. We believe in brighter futures for children; empowering families to create incomes and jobs; unlocking economic potential for communities to thrive.
VisionFund is committed to forging a new path that will help us achieve our goal of positively impacting the lives of 30 million children through our strategy, Our Livelihood Promise. Based on the results trend so far, we have realized we are not going to be able to achieve that goal with our current structure and operating model. This will requires us to reposition the Global Centre.
In light of the above, VisionFund International has a Network of 25 Microfinance Institutions which will be managed in a new structure of 6 regions of 3-5 MFIs, usually within the same geographic region. The repositioning has resulted in the creation of the position of Global Asset Management Director.

The GAMD is responsible for the inputs and operations of two key internal management committees, the Asset & Liability Committee (ALCO) and the Impact Investment Committee (IIC) and is a member of the ALCO.
