Abstract: MSMEs often need external funding in order to expand their business or to cover their regular business operations. Basically, there are two types of financing that are available, i.e. debt financing (loan) and equity financing.

LandFinanceHub is designed to facilitate the interaction between MSME which need funding with Financier that are looking for potential clients and their forestry and agriculture projects in the global south to be financed. The main objective of LandFinanceHub is to increase the flow of finance to deforestation-free commodity production and sustainable land use. The Hub also contains training materials and toolkits for the benefits of MSMEs and Financiers. The LandFinanceHub has been developed through the Green Finance For Sustainable Landscape Project which is jointly managed by United Nation Environment Program Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF) with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
