Hivos-Triodos Fonds was launched in 1994 as a public-private partnership between the Dutch development organization Hivos and Triodos IM, advocating for and investing in sustainable change in emerging countries.
As a blended finance instrument, Hivos-Triodos Fonds aims to address climate change and its consequences, improve livelihoods, and reduce inequality for low-income communities and vulnerable groups, especially women and youth. By stimulating the growth of innovative businesses in renewable energy and sustainable agriculture, Hivos-Triodos Fonds spurs the transition to a green and inclusive economy.
Since its inception, Hivos-Triodos Fonds has invested over EUR 300 million in high-impact initiatives in Africa, Asia and Latin America and helped millions of predominantly rural women access financial services.
The investments by OeEB and FMO will enable Hivos-Triodos Fonds to make even more impact in areas like agriculture and access to renewable energy.
