CAF–UNICEF Finance Pipeline Could Benefit Nearly 7 Million Young People

CAF and UNICEF reported that the Latin America and Caribbean Future Bank initiative could approach US$1.4 billion in projected approvals by the end of 2026, one year after its launch.

The initiative applies a child and youth lens to development finance and could benefit almost 7 million children, adolescents and young people across Latin America and the Caribbean.

The financing pipeline links investment decisions with outcomes in areas such as education, health, social inclusion and opportunities for younger populations.
