CABEI and UNCDF join forces to mobilize sustainable investments and promote financial innovation in Central America

The Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) and the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) signed a Declaration of Intent that will allow for the development of a strategic alliance aimed at mobilizing sustainable investments and promoting innovative financial mechanisms for the benefit of Central America countries.

This strategic alliance will explore synergies between both institutions to collaborate in key areas such as climate and biodiversity financing, environmental credit markets, the conservation of strategic regional ecosystems, the development of resilient production systems, and the design of innovative financial instruments, including blended finance schemes, guarantees, and debt-for-nature or debt-for-climate swaps.

Both institutions also agreed to explore possible joint collaborations with international financial partners, such as the Green Climate Fund and the Adaptation Fund, and to facilitate the exchange of information on country-level initiatives.
