It works with financial service providers in South Asia and Africa to catalyze investment in low-carbon, climate-resilient projects and promote inclusive climate finance. FSG Plus looks for opportunities to: Develop new/improved products: this includes improvements to the design and distribution of financial services to make them more accessible to unserved customer segments, such as women-led businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in frontier markets. Develop new markets/segments, such as entering green/sustainable supply chains or developing a new strategy and suite of products targeting previously ignored or underserved customer segments, such as smallholder farmers. Contribute to enhanced processes or systems: for example, creating more diverse staff and leadership teams or increasing the use of digitization better to deliver financial services to remote or underserved populations. |
