Last August, Développement international Desjardins (DID) joined the ranks of the Global Convergence Network, which is dedicated to boosting blended finance by producing data and informative content and generating business opportunities that can increase private-sector investment in developing countries.
Convergence brings together public, private and philanthropic investors and funders, particularly through its online platform, which allows them to work together to take part in blended finance transactions. The network also offers its members customized training, case studies and reports, as well as grants to encourage the design of investment vehicles that can attract private capital to foster development.
We're very proud of this new partnership, which will help support and promote our investment activities and our new Aequitas fund.
