Eligibility
The sectors served by the IDF are energy, transport, ports, agribusiness, water, environment and social infrastructure.
The IDF is available to infrastructure projects that are positively impacting social-economic development and/or improvements in areas such as power, agribusiness, water, transport, and environment.
To be eligible, a project must meet FMO’s standard criteria. Aside from financial-economic performance, projects are scrutinized in areas such as corporate governance, environmental impact and social policies to ensure the sustainability of the investment. IDF has a higher degree of risk acceptance than FMO's own funding. To assess eligibility, FMO reviews investment plans, market analyses, due diligence studies, expected returns and the commitment level of management and co-financiers.
