Transforming the finance sector with technical assistance

The document examines the role of technical assistance in establishing green bond markets in China and Kenya, concluding that while such assistance is a critical element for transformative change in the finance sector, it is not sufficient on its own.

• Technical assistance was instrumental in the development of green bond markets in both China and Kenya, supporting the establishment of the market in China and helping to lower barriers to market establishment in Kenya.
• The study identifies five key lessons for policy-makers and technical assistance providers to drive transformative change: assistance must be dynamic and adaptable, focus on first-movers to build local ownership and capacity, prioritize the development of local markets, ensure a local presence, and balance international best practices with local circumstances.
• Technical assistance is a critical component for transforming the finance sector, but it cannot achieve this transformation independently.
