s:940:"%T A Better Deal—Incentivising wise land use with the Tropical Landscape Finance Facility 
%A Simons, T. 
%X The private and public sectors got together in Jakarta this week to launch the commercially innovative Tropical Landscapes Finance Facility (TLFF). This enterprising initiative, exceeding USD 1.1 billion of investments, will provide long-term finance (10-15 years) to projects and entities that ensure green growth and positive benefits to rural livelihoods. The projects will focus exclusively on renewable energy and remunerative landscape transformations, with a worthy gender parity philosophy. With strong support from the Indonesian Government, the TLFF consists of a billion dollar Loan Fund with liquidity provided by BNP Paribas and others, and managed by Hong Kong-based ADM Capital. From our new offices in Jakarta, ICRAF – The World Agroforestry Centre (with UNEP support) provides the Secretariat to the TLFF.
