This report examines three transactions by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), deployed in the Latin America and Caribbean region, to demonstrate the value of blended finance for risk-mitigation, right-sizing investment structures and matching appropriate sources of capital with targeted development needs.

The broader lessons learned from these case studies underscores that, in similar situations, the use of bended finance can successfully mobilize amounts of private sector capital that far exceeds what is available from public sources alone.
