At FinDev Canada, we value equality, inclusion and the environment. We recognize the urgency of climate and nature action and the opportunity to achieve greater development outcomes by promoting gender equality. Climate is the existential threat, while gender offers an existential opportunity. We are proud to play an important role in addressing both.
By providing support to the private sector in developing countries, we intend to have a favourable impact on market development, gender equality and climate and nature action. We achieve this by focusing on three priority sectors:

Sustainable Infrastructure
With the intent of supporting the development of low-carbon, climate-resilient infrastructure in the power, transportation, water and digital sub-sectors.
- Image
Agribusiness, Forestry & Their Related Value Chains
With the intent of supporting food security, strengthening economic conditions, and addressing opportunities to support climate action.

Financial Industry
Including banks, non-bank financial institutions, and investment funds with the intent of strengthening institutions and access to financial services in the markets we serve.
