Partnerships for Greater Impact in the Amazonia

Amazonia Viva - MOU IDB
World Bank and IDB Join Forces to Maximize Development Impact

The World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) signed a groundbreaking four-year partnership to drive stronger results for people in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Understanding the importance of Amazonia for its people, its countries, and the world, the institutions collaborate to scale its sustainable development and generate a positive impact.

Under the IDB’s umbrella program Amazonia Forever, the organizations will combine their expertise to support countries transitioning to net-zero-deforestation, helping people pursue better livelihoods while preserving the ecosystem—including through innovative financial instruments and boosting bioeconomy.

This partnership is established on critical common grounds for the sustainable development of Amazonia:

Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) World Bank Group
  • Combating deforestation and strengthening environmental control and security
  • Safeguarding natural assets for a healthy forest biome
  • Bioeconomy and Creative Economy 
  • Fostering nature-smart and inclusive economic opportunities 
  • People, Sustainable Cities, Infrastructure, and Connectivity 
  • Improving the living standards of its population  

The partnership also seeks to strengthen the Caribbean’s resilience to natural disasters, and bridge the digital-access gap, across Latin America and the Caribbean.
