About the Multilateral Investment Fund
With funding from 39 donor countries, the MIF, a member of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Group,
supports development led by the private sector to empower dynamic entrepreneurs and poor and vulnerable
populations. Its aim is to give businesses, farms, and households the tools to boost their incomes: access to markets
and the skills to compete in those markets, access to finance, and access to basic services and green technology.
A core MIF mission is to act as a development laboratory—experimenting, pioneering, and taking risks in order to
build and support business models for successful micro, small, and medium enterprises. To use its resources
effectively, the MIF is committed to results-based project measurement, impact evaluation, and active knowledge
sharing so that the most promising solutions are widely known and can be scaled up.
The MIF uses technical assistance grants, equity investments, and loans, as well as combinations of these tools
when both capacity building and risk-sharing finance are needed. It is the largest provider of technical assistance to
the private sector in Latin America and the Caribbean, and always works with partners to help fund and carry out
pilot projects. In the region, the MIF works with local, mostly private partners that contribute both a significant portion
of the project costs and on-the-ground resources to implement operations. The MIF also works with global partners
that share its goals, such as corporations, foundations, and other multilateral organizations. They pool their financial
and other resources with the MIF’s to jointly solve development challenges.
In the 20 years since its creation, the MIF has evolved to serve the needs of the region while maintaining its core
function as a development laboratory. The MIF intends to continue the promotion of innovative private-sector
development that focuses on securing economic and social mobility—a goal central to achieving sustained growth,
poverty reduction, and increased economic equality across Latin America and the Caribbean.
