responsability
Impact
Proparco’s capacity to select projects that have the most impacts is crucial.
Depending on the type of client (companies, infrastructure, banks or investment funds), Proparco assesses, for example, its impacts on:
The maintenance and creation of jobs;
- Gender issues;
- Environmental practices (reduction of GHG emissions, use of renewable energies), social practices (employment conditions, hygiene, and safety of workers…) and the governance of counterparties;
- The improvement in access to essential goods and services for disadvantaged communities;
- The public revenues generated;
- The transfer of technology and know-how…
infrastructure projects
When the financing request concerns a financial institution, Proparco also assesses its contribution to providing communities with access to banking services or the diversification of the allocation of loans to key sectors and/or actors for development (microfinance products, SMEs, start-up companies…).
When the request concerns infrastructure projects, Proparco assesses, for example, the reliability and security of the technologies used and the contribution that projects make to improving access in a region (electricity or water supply, for example).
The rating may be increased if the project promotes innovation (technical or social), supports a public development policy, contributes to additional investment in the country, or reaches isolated communities.
Every year, Proparco consolidates the results of signed operations in order to have an overall vision of its activity.
