The RPG Initiative provides non-reimbursable financing for solutions to shared development challenges through regional cooperation among at least three IDB borrowing member countries. Since 2005, the RPG Initiative has financed around $150 million for more than 200 projects.

The RPG Initiative will finance in 2023 regional coordination proposals aligned one or more of the following four (4) priority areas: (i) education and health to tackle poverty and inequality; (ii) food security, including access, production, and trade aspects; (iii) climate change mitigation and adaptation, and support to meeting Latin America and the Caribbean countries’ Paris Agreement goals; and (iv) regional integration in terms of sustainable physical and digital infrastructure to boost trade and productivity. Proposals that also involve a gender and diversity focus will be positively valued.
