About this grant
The International Finance and the Amazon Program of Amazon Watch monitors and works to influence extractive industry and infrastructure projects financed by international financial institutions and private banks. This renewal grant will support Amazon Watch to strengthen the capacity of constituencies in Amazon countries, particularly environmental and indigenous organizations, to influence and hold accountable international financial decisionmakers for the environmental and social impacts of new and proposed energy and infrastructure projects. The grant will also support community monitoring of planned and existing international financial institution investments in energy and infrastructure in the Amazon region.
