Silver region about the call

What is Silver Region?

We are the first multilateral fund focused on strengthening care services, preventing dependency, improving care and long-term care, empowering and training of caregivers and older people (over 60 years) in Latin America and the Caribbean .

This is a program created by IDB Lab, the innovation and venture capital laboratory of the Inter-American Development Bank Group, together with the Arturo Sesana Foundation, IDRC and GRADE and the support of Latimpacto and Innpactia.

The call is aimed at organizations in the region that have innovative projects that involve technology as a central axis in the positive social impact of the elderly population (+60) and their caregivers.

This will be the first of three calls for proposals; the other two will be launched in 2025.
