IDB supports vulnerable populations in Peru

The Inter-American Development Bank has approved a $600 million project for Peru to improve the protection of vulnerable people through social policies. 

The project will target the labour market, public health care services, technical and production-oriented higher education, and prevention and response to violence against women. The specific objectives are to improve access to insurance against loss of income, access to public health services; equitable access to technical higher education; and quality of services to prevent and respond to violence against women.  The $600 million project has a 20-year amortization period and an interest rate based on LIBOR.
