CATALYZE Peru seeks to stimulate sustainable and responsible economic development and growth in Peru's Amazon region by facilitating financing for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the region. CATALYZE Peru works across sectors in the Peruvian Amazon both within established agricultural subsectors and by promoting new and emerging subsectors, such as non-timber forest products (NTFPs). CATALYZE Peru also actively promotes investment in other sectors such as tourism, forestry, services, and light manufacturing, among others. Much of the investment will come from the Peruvian financial sector, with the objective of increasing the appetite and capacity of Peruvian banks, cajas municipales, cajas rurales, microfinance institutions (MFIs), and cooperatives to lend to enterprises profitably and sustainably. CATALYZE Peru also mobilizes investment from cross-border impact investors and financial intermediaries via direct investments and funds.
