Background to this project:

In September 2025, Positive Money published The East and Southeast Asia Green Central Banking Scorecard analysing and scoring the 13 countries of the ASEAN Plus Three (APT) based on their central banks’ and financial supervisors’ progress in aligning their policies with addressing the ecological crisis. This report is the first of its kind to provide a country-by-country analysis of green central banking in the APT, providing a benchmark against which to measure future progress.

Work we are contracting for in 2026:

Building on our scorecard report, we are seeking support from external contractors or consultants on the following activities during 2026, focussed on three countries: Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. 

Civil Society Engagement

• Expanding our database of civil society organisational contacts in our priority countries and building relationships with them.

• Supporting us to co-host (or support organisational partners in the region to host) 2-3 public-facing webinars sharing the Scorecard’s findings, with a focus on their country’s performance, in order to raise the profile of green central banking

• Support  for  2-4 nationally-focused invitation-only online roundtable discussions, prioritising our target countries, to which we will invite relevant civil society organisations and central bank representatives from those countries. 

Research output

• Support on writing 1-2 nationally-focused research briefings which explore in further detail key green central banking policy areas for our priority countries and set out our recommendations for where these countries can make further progress. 

• Support on presenting these research briefings as part of our direct engagement with priority target institutions, and with locally-based campaigning organisations ,

We are open to inquiries from potential contractors who may work on all, or just some, of the work detailed above

• Network building, coalition building and convening within civil society

• Events management including roundtables and webinars on public policy

• Advocacy work on public policy

• Research experience in related topics, and experience of writing research/policy briefings
