The Inter-American Development Bank Amazon Initiative

The Inter-American Development Bank has financed projects in all countries of the Amazon region for the past 15 years. Today, they are launching the IDB Amazon Initiative, a new conceptual framework for the IDB Group’s systematic and coordinated support of sustainable development in the region. They mobilize public and private resources for integrated development models based on the region’s cultural heritage, human capital and natural capital. Join us to learn about their strategy to bring investors to the region and deploy over $300 million as grants, first-loss capital, and other forms of blended finance. Join us to meet IDB Sustainability Specialist Yves Lesenfants and IDB Resource Mobilization Lead Daniel Hincapie to learn.
