These services are critical for building financial resilience, particularly amid the dual challenges of climate change and political instability. By supporting local financial institutions (FIs) in developing and institutionalizing green and inclusive financial services, the project contributes to long-term private sector development, environmental protection, and social equity.

A-FIN foresees to strengthen the capacities of the regulatory authorities Palestine Capital Market Au-thority (PCMA) and Palestine Monetary Authority (PMA) in order to improve the framework condi-tions for inclusive sustainable financial services. In addition, A-FIN is aiming to support Palestinian financial actors to adapt their processes and products to the needs of the target group and facilitate the development and piloting of inclusive sustainable financial solutions.
