AIIB Delegation Visits ADFIAP Headquarters to Strengthen Partnerships and Collaborations

Manila, Philippines — (June 10, 2026) The Association of Development Financing Institutions in Asia and the Pacific (ADFIAP) warmly welcomed Mr. Kazuhiro Nomoto, Partnerships Officer, Institutional Engagement and Cooperation at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), to its Manila headquarters, underscoring both institutions' shared commitment to advancing sustainable and inclusive infrastructure development across the region.

The courtesy visit offered ADFIAP and AIIB leadership a chance to exchange insights on current priorities, including green finance, digital transformation, and climate‑resilient infrastructure. The discussions focused on how AIIB’s strategic pillars—lean, clean, and green financing—align with ADFIAP’s mission to empower development finance institutions (DFIs) to catalyze economic growth and social progress.
ADFIAP Secretary General Enrique Florencio expressed appreciation for AIIB’s proactive engagement with DFIs, noting that “AIIB’s emphasis on climate finance, technology‑enabled infrastructure, and private capital mobilization resonates strongly with our member institutions’ needs. This dialogue opens new pathways for collaboration and capacity‑building.”

The AIIB delegation highlighted ongoing initiatives and financial targets as well as expanded partnerships with regional institutions to mobilize private-sector investment. Both parties agreed to explore opportunities for co-financing projects, sharing knowledge, and joint programs to enhance resilience and inclusivity in Asia-Pacific economies.

The visit reaffirmed the importance of partnerships for prosperity, positioning AIIB and ADFIAP as strategic allies in shaping a greener, more connected, and inclusive future. As the region faces pressing challenges from climate change and digital disruption, the collaboration between AIIB and ADFIAP is a timely and strategic alliance.

ADFIAP welcomes auctusESG and explores collaborations

Manila, Philippines | June 10, 2026 – The Association of Development Financing Institutions in Asia and the Pacific (ADFIAP) and global advisory firm auctusESG convened today for a strategic meeting to review their ongoing partnership and outline future collaborative initiatives aimed at fostering sustainable finance and digital transformation among financial institutions.

The meeting brought together key representatives from both organizations. Representing auctusESG were Namita Vikas, Founder and Managing Director, and Subhag Raj Maliakal, Lead, Market Development & Strategic Partnership.. The ADFIAP delegation was led by Enrique Florencio, Secretary General, joined by John Alianza, Sandra Honrado, and George Aquino.

The discussions focused heavily on leveraging technology and data to support sustainable development goals within the region’s financial sector.

Expanding the Reach of ABANX
A central focus of the meeting was the strategic digitalization and expansion of ABANX. Partners explored comprehensive pathways to strengthen the platform’s capabilities and broaden its impact. Namita Vikas notably proposed a targeted initiative to introduce ABANX to Non Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in India, leveraging auctusESG’s deep expertise and extensive network within the Indian financial ecosystem. To catalyze this expansion, the organizations identified an upcoming NBFC roundtable as the ideal venue to formally showcase ABANX to key industry stakeholders and decision makers.

Advancing Joint Sustainability Systems
Beyond ABANX, ADFIAP and auctusESG reviewed progress on several collaborative systems designed to empower financial institutions in advancing sustainability:

NEXUS plus: The teams exchanged updates and mapped out next steps for the NEXUS Plus initiative, with the goal of delivering enhanced support and seamless integration for member institutions.

Seed2Market: Discussions also highlighted the ongoing development and prospective rollout of the Seed2Market, underscoring a shared commitment to strengthening resilience and embedding sustainable practices within the agricultural sector.

This engagement underscores ADFIAP’s commitment to building bridges with international partners and to scaling solutions that empower development finance institutions to achieve sustainability outcomes across borders.

As sustainability and climate imperatives reshape the global financial system, development finance
institutions (DFIs) across Asia and the Pacific are increasingly called upon to integrate environmental,
social, and governance (ESG) principles into their core strategies and operations. In response to this
evolving landscape, the ADFIAP Institute is convening this timely and highly practical program to
strengthen the leadership and operational capabilities of DFIs and banks in aligning governance, risk
management, and compliance systems with the global sustainability agenda.
Through expert-led discussions, real-world case studies, and hands-on workshops, the seminarworkshop
will provide participants with practical frameworks and tools to effectively manage ESG and
climate-related risks, design sound governance and compliance systems, and develop sustainable finance
products that support inclusive and low-carbon growth. Participants will gain valuable insights on how
sustainability-driven governance can future-proof their institutions, enhance regulatory readiness, and
position their organizations as key enablers of the green transition.
