Lead rapporteur for a learning exchange between development banks in the Pacific. Rather than a workshop report, a lessons piece was developed to share the learning more broadly. We were delighted to support the first draft which was further refined internally at SPC. The lessons reveal that these institutions hold forms of capability that are rarely acknowledged sufficiently in global climate finance processes: customer-centric grievance redress mechanisms, trusted community relationships, culturally rooted understandings of land and gender systems, and fit-for-purpose financial structures refined through decades of lending to micro and small businesses across dispersed geographies.
