About this grant
International Finance and the Amazon Program, a project of Amazon Watch, monitors and works to influence extractive industry and infrastructure projects financed by international financial institutions and other public 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 energy and infrastructure projects. The grant will also support monitoring of emblematic highway, waterway, and hydroelectric dam projects in the Amazon region.
