Green Finance and ESG Solutions Assessment for the Manufacturing Sector in Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam
​
The Mekong Sustainability Manufacturing Alliance (MSMA) program is a 3-year USAID-funded alliance, led by the Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC), with the principal aim of strengthening the lower Mekong region as a competitive and environmentally sustainable manufacturing hub, driving private-sector adoption of improved environmental and social safeguards by factories in the food processing, electronics, and textiles sectors. The program will focus primarily on Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam, with both country-specific and region-wide activities, and an emphasis not on increased compliance but on the business opportunities for these sectors from taking a more concerted approach to sustainable manufacturing practices.
​
ACE Partners has been retained to develop a landscape assessment in each country of the financing opportunities available for the manufacturing sector to advance environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. In parallel to this, a similar landscape assessment was also conducted with a focus on locally appropriate solutions to improve factory ESG performance. This will allow ISC and MSMA stakeholders to understand the ESG context, priorities, and financing needs of manufacturers in each of the target countries, potential solutions for improving ESG performance, and the barriers that factory owners face to further action.

Private Financing Advisory Network (PFAN)
​
The Private Financing Advisory Network (PFAN), hosted jointly by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP), is a global network of clean energy financing experts that provide free mentoring to project developers and link them to investors. Since its inception in 2006, PFAN has helped raise $2 billion for clean energy and climate change projects globally.

Assistance on Design and Roll-out of Southeast Asia Energy Transition Partnership (SEA-ETP) and Tara programme
​
The Energy Transition Partnership (ETP) is a multi-stakeholder platform that strives to deliver joint action, improved dialogue, and coordination among donors with the aim to accelerate the energy transition by addressing policy, financial, and knowledge barriers to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable infrastructures in the region. ETP was guided by funders through an Interim Steering Committee and an Interim Secretariat hosted by the European Climate Foundation. The Tara initiative is a separate program administered by the Foundation, which aims to engage clean energy actors across the region towards aligned goals and more enabling policy environments.
ACE Partners played a pivotal role in facilitating effective communication and outreach efforts for both the Tara and ETP initiatives. Our support encompassed various aspects, including stakeholder engagement, website design, data analysis, market assessment research, and the development of well-designed interventions.​

Asia Clean Energy Forum
​
The Asia Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) is one of Asia's leading clean energy events, and it is held each June at the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Headquarters in Manila. ACE Partners' Co-CEO Peter du Pont has supported ADB in the design and the conduct of ACEF since its founding in 2007, and ACE Partners has provided a support team for ACEF since 2008. For the past three years (2020-2022), ACE Partners transformed ACEF to a virtual format, delivering the same level of quality and value that ACEF is known for while ensuring the safety and health of the participants, reducing costs, eliminating the usual greenhouse gas emissions associated with a physical event, and improving convenience and accessibility. As the event resumes in physical format in 2023, ACE Partners continues to support ADB, convening clean energy practitioners from across the region under the theme "Navigating toward a Carbon-Neutral Future through Clean Energy Solutions."
