World Bank and Regional Development Banks
CSR projects to develop infrastructure, improve living conditions or promote local industry may apply to the following organizations for public funding:
World Bank
The World Bank Group is made up of international institutions that promote development by providing funding and advice to developing and emerging countries in connection with development projects and economic reforms. Within the World Bank Group, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) is the entity responsible for assisting private investors. It invests in private commercial enterprises by mobilizing loans and equity capital, as well as offering legal and technical advice.
Regional Development Banks
The Regional Development Banks finance projects and programs conducted by member countries in the respective regions. Most of their work involves making funds available for investment in the public sector, although in some cases they work directly with private industry.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), which includes the Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC), provide large-scale support for projects carried out by private industry.
In contrast, the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Asian Development Bank (AsDB) concentrate primarily on financing public projects, although they do provide some support to projects implemented by the private sector.
