CAF would finance projects for the recovery of Venezuela

The Development Bank of Latin America (CAF) is in negotiations with officials of the Venezuelan Government in order to finalize the financing of different projects in the health, infrastructure and education sectors.

This was reported by Alejandra Claros Borda, general secretary of CAF, who assured that in the coming months the results of the technical team that is carrying out the negotiations will be available.

Claros Borda reiterated that according to the processes that the financial institution executes in all countries to grant financing, the technical team carries out the evaluations in the sectors of interest. In the case of Venezuela, these are, in principle, “infrastructure, electricity, education, health and everything that can be put together on an agenda, as is done with all countries.”

Educational discrimination

According to the CAF Secretary General, the difficulties presented by the countries of the region are very similar. However, the problems that the educational sector has been presenting are worrying because “it is a silent crisis that is not currently being talked about.”

The crisis in the education sector is greater because “education is being implemented through technological equipment and most of the population does not have access to it, so we are living in a time of educational discrimination, but not because of the systems, but because a reality has put us on that.”

The objective of the Development Bank of Latin America is to contribute to the economic reactivation of the region, improve digital transformation and assume gender equality in each one of the projects to be developed.
