Description
The Better Futures Programme builds on IFC’s experience in mobilising private investment at scale for innovative solutions to climate change, fragility, conflict and crisis response, job creation, and inclusive growth. The programme will focus on two main pillars (a) resilient livelihood: conflict and fragility; regional and global impacts and (b) innovation for climate: decarbonisation and climate resiliency
The programme will mobilise private investments in infrastructure, goods production, promoting decarbonisation and the preservation of livelihoods. It is shared between the regions of DG INTPA and DG NEAR with Small Island States, Asia and Eastern Neighbourhood being the main geographies.
