USAID Green Invest Asia

USAID Green Invest Asia operated across Southeast Asia, with an initial focus on Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, and the Philippines. The project catalyzed private sector finance to upscale and drive investments in agriculture, forestry, and other land use toward low emissions, yet profitable business models. USAID Green Invest Asia identified and developed promising climate-smart business deals with solid profit potential for investors. The project engaged with financial institutions and investors to link them to pipeline opportunities and bridge financial and technical gaps necessary to overcome barriers to investment in businesses that are environmentally and socially responsible. It provided direct technical services to enterprises desiring to "green" their supply chains and assisted in structuring corresponding financial deals to reduce investor risk.
