Credit lines are a very common instrument of moving climate finance from international development financial institutions to intermediaries in developing countries.
Unfortunately and very surprisingly, not all of these lines get utilised. Rainer and Sanjoy who have worked with credit lines for many years explain how credit lines can be made more effective. The market needs to be assessed, potential products tested, the processes have to be thought through and there needs to be far better coordination between teams within the local financial intermediary.
Technical Assistance should also be more strategically deployed and one key criterion is reusability of interventions and continuous improvement.
