Partnership for Forests & Perbanas Workshop
FACS organized a workshop session in Jakarta, in collaboration with PERBANAS (the Indonesian banks association) and Partnership for Forests. Attendees were local banks, international impact investors and plantation companies – this wide and diverse crowd spurred an interesting discussion on the financing structures available to un-lock oil palm replanting credit for smallholders. This event created the basis for the development of partnerships which will eventually lead to a pilot and a much-needed proof of concept.
