Our activities in Latin America and the Caribbean

In Latin American and Caribbean countries, Proparco conducts its activities in phase with the French government mandate for emerging countries given to AFD Group, which aims to support “green and inclusive growth”.

This strategy has two main objectives: helping the subcontinent’s economies transition to a growth model that consumes fewer natural resources and emits lower levels of greenhouse gases, and reducing inequalities.

Proparco works to support private sector initiatives to combat climate change and reduce inequality.

• Supporting the energy transition through renewable energy and energy efficiency projects (solar, wind, hydroelectric power, biomass, etc.).
• Facilitating access to essential goods and services by strengthening the provision of healthcare and education (expanding and upgrading hospital services and private university campuses) and access to services (water, sanitation).

• Promoting financial inclusion through the development of microfinance for small businesses in the formal and informal sector.
• Supporting the agriculture and agri-food sectors by helping local banks, particularly to facilitate the financing of agriculture and agri-food projects and enhancing the capacity of Latin American players to meet growing demand for food in the region.
