Soline Praloran, Project Manager, and Sébastien Fleury, Director, Investing in Complex Environments at Proparco, present issue 36 of the Private Sector and Development magazine about technical assistance.

Technical assistance (TA) is an accelerator of performance, responsible practices and impacts. It is a way for Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) to promote the integration and dissemination of strategic issues for their partners and beneficiaries, by building their skills through the provision of external expertise.

Nature’s services – food, economic, social – are essential to our societies, yet they have declined significantly with the destruction of biodiver- sity and the situation is rapidly worsening. Private companies, which we more specifically focus on in this issue of the Private Sector & Development review, are emerging and developing in response to the needs of society in often fast-growing economies.

This brochure aims to sensitize financial institutions to their role in the fight against climate change. For example, they have a key role to play in mobilizing private climate finance. This brochure presents the range of services provided by PROPARCO (financing, guarantees and technical assistance) to allow partner banks and financial institutions to take better account of climate issues.

Since 2015, tackling climate change has been a core aspect of the AFD Group identity. This positioning has been strengthened by the adoption of a 2017-2022 climate strategy that reflects the Group’s ambition to support the implementation of the Paris Agreement and low-carbon and resilient transitions in developing and emerging countries.
