This is the final report of the second phase of the Hariyo Ban Program. “Hariyo Ban” means “green forests” in Nepali. Hariyo Ban was a United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded initiative implemented by a consortium comprising World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) (lead organization), Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE), National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC), and the Federation of Community Forestry Users Nepal (FECOFUN). The first phase of the Program (Hariyo Ban I) ran from 2011 to 2016, and the second phase (Hariyo Ban II) from 2016 to 2021.
Blended finance can catalyze private sector investment for climate action with financial structuring that enables impact-oriented donors and commercial capital providers to invest alongside each other to increase the speed and scale of climate solutions.
Catalyzing private finance for climate action is essential to achieving goals for limiting global warming. USAID can play a pivotal role in climate action across partner countries by increasing funding for activities that catalyze and crowd in private capital to climate-focused investments. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates USD 1.6 trillion is needed annually to keep global warming to the 1.5-2°C target range; only 38 percent of this was funded in 2019. Blended finance, the strategic use of public resources to attract private capital, represents an opportunity for USAID to help close this gap and dramatically increase the scale and scope of climate finance in the coming years.

USAID’s development assistance in the Eastern and Southern Caribbean (ESC) region extends to 11 countries: Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. The high vulnerability to, and potential for, climate impacts throughout the region often drive direct integration of climate risk management into the country and regional planning processes.
