Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

The objective of the project is to support Davivienda El Salvador in the development of its portfolio of financing for environmentally friendly projects ("green loans") in El Salvador. At the same time, IDB Invest will provide advisory services that will focus on monitoring these projects, as well as on measuring impact indicators and the bank's contribution to them. As part of its institutional response and to mitigate the economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, IDB Invest is prioritizing financing through financial institutions to ensure member countries have the resources they need for development projects.

The proposed transaction consists of a senior unsecured loan to Banco Davivienda, S.A. ("Davivienda ES" or the "Bank") denominated in US dollars (US$) for up to US$100 million (the "project"). The project financing will be structured as follows: (i) US$35 million from IDB Invest; (ii) US$15 million mobilized through potential cofinancing, financed by IDB Invest in its capacity as administrator of the China Co-financing Fund for Latin America and the Caribbean (the "Fund"); and (iv) US$50 million mobilized through co-financiers or "B" lenders.

This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IADB

The Independent Consultation and Investigation Mechanism (MICI) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) or Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC)-funded project. If you submit a complaint to MICI, they may assist you in addressing the problems you raised through a dispute-resolution process with those implementing the project and/or through an investigation to assess whether the IDB or IIC is following its own policies for preventing or mitigating harm to people or the environment. You can submit a complaint by sending an email to MICI@iadb.org. You can learn more about the MICI and how to file a complaint at http://www.iadb.org/en/mici/mici,1752.html (in English) or http://www.iadb.org/es/mici/mici,1752.html (Spanish).
