    This report summarizes the housing and socioeconomic data collected through the Beneficiary Survey of the Neighborhood Improvement Programs conducted in 2014. The survey covered all households in the 11 neighborhoods of the Central District of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, where the first phase of the Urban Integration and Coexistence Program (PICU) - HO-L1088 is planned for implementation. The analysis of descriptive characteristics highlights the main public service needs of these communities, as well as the overall condition of the neighborhoods. Additionally, the socioeconomic characterization of the households provides insights into the health, education, sociability, and intra-family relationships of their members. This information helps design targeted social policies addressing these specific areas in the neighborhoods.

    At the IDB Groups Annual Meeting in 2016, the Board of Governors endorsed the goal to increase finance of climate change-related projects in the Latin American and Caribbean region to 30% of the IDBs and IICs combined total approvals by 2020, subject to demand from borrowing member countries and clients, and access to external sources of concessional finance. During 2019, the IDB Group - composed of the IDB, IDB Lab (formerly the Multilateral Investment Fund) and IDB Invest - approved approximately US$5 billion in climate finance, that is, for development activities carried out by the public and private sectors that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and thus mitigate climate change, and/or that reduce vulnerability to climate change and contribute to an adaptation process. This amount represented 29% of the IDB Groups total approved amount for 2019.
