Managing a Portfolio for Impact: IDB Invest’s Impact Management Framework

As a whole, the framework developed by IDB Invest for measuring and managing impact supports its role as a connector and resource mobilizer, linking countries in Latin America and the Caribbean with private sector investment. This involves leveraging IDB Invest’s institutional capacity to identify and structure projects with high impact potential, monitor and assess impact performance, manage ESG risks, and build a strong pipeline of SDG-aligned investment opportunities across the region.

Beyond generating deal flow, IDB Invest also helps accelerate learning for other investors seeking to develop or enhance their own impact measurement and management systems—sharing proven elements of its approach while aligning with the evolving standards in the broader impact investing ecosystem. Ultimately, managing for impact alongside financial returns enables all stakeholders to build the portfolios the world needs—comprised of targeted, high-impact investments that foster a more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient private sector.
