We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities. Our mission is to leverage the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet.The Financial Institution Group (FIG) is one of the major industry groups at IFC responsible for managing roughly 40% of IFC's overall business in terms of volume, capital at risk, profitability, and development reach. FIG engages in a wide range of sub-sectors including Microfinance, SME, Gender, Climate, Insurance, Capital Markets, Housing, Distressed Assets, Global Trade Finance, and other areas. FIG provides investment and advisory solutions to hundreds of financial intermediaries in emerging markets to enable them to play a positive role in economic growth. FIG's advisory services are closely coordinated with investment operations and help banks and Financial Institutions (FIs) to build or improve their operations in several areas, including Sustainability and Climate Finance.Climate Business is one of the strategic priorities of the WBG, and IFC has set itself a very ambitious climate action plan and reach a climate target of 35% of total investments from 2021 to 2025 (including energy efficiency, renewable energy, cleaner production and resource efficiency, waste and wastewater management, and green buildings). To contribute to those targets, FIG has already quadrupled its climate finance investments over the last three years, working with FIs to scale up their financing of climate friendly projects. The team comprises of technical specialists, investment and operations officers and project managers who provide advisory services (AS) and investment services (IS) to financial institutions. The focus is to support IFC's client banks and non-bank financial institutions build viable and scalable climate finance operations, leveraging capital markets as well as their client base and partnerships with various market players to promote mitigation and adaptation to climate change.IFC has established a global advisory services program called the "30 by 30 Zero Program", a 6-year project (2021 to 2027), that is aiming to harness the financial sector in targeted emerging countries to scale up private sector financing for climate mitigation and adaptation projects in line with NDCs. This flagship program is being piloted in 4 different countries: Egypt, South Africa, Philippines, and Mexico
