The Blended Finance to Empower Climate MSMEs workshop, held on 11 September 2024 brought together stakeholders from both demand and supply sides to explore how blended finance can de-risk investments in MSMEs providing products and services for climate mitigation and adaptation. #MyUNDP, supported by #ClimateFinanceNetwork, organized the workshop to identify the market failures and potential benefits of blended finance to bridge the gap, together with Malaysia Venture Capital Management Berhad, Seedstars and Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC). Some of the preliminary findings from the survey, such as mismatch in funding sizes and tenure and high perceived risks, have been validated through the breakout group discussions with stakeholders’ experiences. The study will further analyse the financing gap of climate MSMEs to provide the validity and justification for establishing a financial instrument with blended finance structure. Based on the assessment it will then develop the main characteristics of such instruments to facilitate collaboration of key stakeholders with interests. Stay tuned to see our findings through this exercise! #ClimateFinance #BlendedFinance #ClimateFinancing #SustainableInvesting #Financinggap

Since achieving independence in 1957, Malaysia has made great strides in reducing poverty, improving healthcare, and expanding digital and educational opportunities. Yet pockets of challenges remain, requiring focused interventions to tackle. In conjunction with Malaysia's 67th Independance, #MyUNDP Resident Representative a.i. Manon Bernier reflects on how UNDP has evolved to serve the needs of a uniquely placed nation like Malaysia, which navigates the status of a “Upper Middle Income Country” while holding aspirations of rising boldly ahead.

As part of our initiative to enhance access to employment with better social protection for people with disabilities (PWD), UNDP, in collaboration with the International Labour Organization through the Yayasan MySDG, held a consultation with Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPD). Aligned with the Leaving No One Behind commitment, the consultation sought to gather valuable insights from PWD representatives to co-create effective approaches for broader community consultations and to validate the Pilot Job Placement design that the project aims to implement in the next phase. It was a fruitful exchange of ideas, and we sincerely appreciate the advice and guidance shared by seasoned leaders from the PWD communities, including the Malaysian Association For The Blind, the National Council for the Blind Malaysia, Persatuan Sindrom Down Malaysia, the Malaysia Confederation of the Disabled, the Association of Women with Disabilities Malaysia, United Voice Malaysia, Majlis Belia OKU Malaysia, and the Mental Illness Awareness and Support Association.
