INNOVATION
Mobilizing resources to maximize impact
In addition to financing, Proparco’s role also involves encouraging the emergence of socially responsible, innovative business people and financial service providers in developing and emerging economies. This means helping its clients improve their environmental and social performance and their governance. Moreover, to achieve its aims, Proparco takes a broad-based approach to governance. Alongside majority shareholder AFD, public and private sector financial institutions from France, Africa, and Latin America, service providers, industrial firms in countries where Proparco operates and ethical funds and foundations are all part of its governing bodies.
