Preparation of the Ecohouse Housing Program
The objective of this Technical Cooperation program is to support the preparation, design and eventually implementation SHF's Energy-Efficient Housing Program, that will include a loan and a technical cooperation package, currently under preparation to be financed with resources of the CTF. The general objective of the program is to enable SHF to support its clients, namely financial intermediaries, in the development of financing products and services to support a transformational shift towards a low-carbon housing market. As part of the program it is envisioned: (i) the reinforcement of the capacities of the housing industry and housing finance institutions for the financing and construction of energy efficient housing, (ii) the creation of a certification system for energy efficient housing (including the creation of a brand or seal), (iii) the dissemination among the industry players and the general population, and d) the promotion of its use as a benchmark for growth of this type of housing. The Program will also disseminate to the population the advantages of energy efficient homes and develop proposed standards for energy efficiency criteria.

La industria libre de carbono está más cerca de lo que creemos
El acero, el cemento, los productos químicos, el vidrio o los ladrillos forman la realidad física de nuestra civilización. Los utilizamos para construir casas, escuelas, hospitales, oficinas, carreteras e incluso para crear estructuras que nos ayuden a evitar o reducir el impacto de los desastres naturales. Pero ¿podemos seguir confiando en estos materiales cuando su producción provoca el 34% de las emisiones mundiales de CO2? La respuesta es sí. Según un reciente informe del IDDRI y el BID, es posible transformar la industria.

Population and Housing Censuses Indicators of Latin America and the Caribbean
The Population and Housing Censuses database contains the censuses harmonized in such a way as to provide comparable census information over time and across countries. The variables in these databases are constructed under a common approach and structure, with standardized names, definitions, and disaggregations, and stored in a single file for each country. Currently, the harmonization of Population and Housing Censuses includes databases for 22 countries. The indicators are categorized into seven themes: demographics, education, labor market, housing, income, migration, and diversity. When possible, we add multiple disaggregations for indicators. The available disaggregations are ethnicity, gender, age, education level, and area of geographic residence. The management and harmonization of this database are provided by the Social Sector (SCL) of the Vice Presidency of Knowledge and Sectors to strengthen the analytical content of projects and studies.
