About this grant
The China-Latin America Sustainable Investment Initiative, a project of the Bank Information Center, works with partners in South America to monitor Chinese investment and strengthen voluntary Chinese guidelines for social and environmental standards, using best international practices. Over the previous grant period, the grantee published the first Spanish-language report on the China Development Bank and worked with nongovernmental organizations worldwide to urge China to adopt mandatory social and environmental standards for overseas investments, particularly in energy finance. This renewal grant will support the grantee to update its manual on Chinese social and environmental guidelines and support Latin American partners engaging on the impacts of Chinese development finance in the region.
