As part of Canada’s foreign affairs and development efforts, IDRC champions and funds research and innovation within and alongside developing regions to drive global change.
AFI and IDRC collaborated on a project to generate knowledge on how Inclusive Green Finance policies can advance mitigation and adaptation amongst small businesses, and ensure that finance flows are consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development. The project included the production of a detailed Inclusive Green Finance for MSMEs Toolkit to support context-specific, inclusive policies that advance green growth, financial inclusion, and economic resilience.
IDRC is currently funding an AFI Research Initiative on Complementarity of Monetary Stability, Financial Stability and Financial Inclusion.
