INTRODUCTION Latin American and the Caribbean countries coincide in the need to promote effective policies to advocate in the economy as a whole, in order to promote an increase in productivity, so as to give the leap to the next level of development, and enter with a greater force into the international competition. In such sense, public policies aimed at improving productivity of factors, innovation, consideration and connectivity of the territories as axis for comprehensive development, among others, are increasingly added to the agenda of the countries, and consequently, of development banks. To support the policies and measures aimed at inducing structural changes in the productive system, Latin American DFIs are acting in various fronts. To support the development of infrastructure, the modernization of businesses, the productive diversification, the emergence of innovative businesses, the development and strengthening of micro, small and medium enterprises and their entrance in international markets, as well as the support to innovation and technological development, the development of sustainable cities, knowledge and innovation. To prepare human capital with a better basic and technical education and entrepreneurial point of view. With a greater internationalization of DFI, by means of opening agencies, branches or representation offices to accompany Latin American companies, capture capitals, attract investments; presence at international capital markets taking advantage of the improvement in country risk ranking to capture at lower costs; establishing cooperation agreements with national and international banks and financial agencies, in order to promote bilateral trade, co-finance large projects, and provide technical assistance. And to support the financing of environmental projects promoting environmentally-friendly productive development. In that context, the action of ALIDE as the institution representing Latin America and the Caribbean development banking is oriented at developing a diversity of activities matching: global economic and financial trends; national economic policies, the countries orientation in financing the economic, social and environmental development of the region, and their goals of productive transformation, as well as sectorial and territorial development, the promotion of innovation and fostering and developing entrepreneurs. Activities that incorporate the demand and trends of the action of ALIDE member entities captured through different ways of identifying the needs, reports and the means of disseminating of development banks. The attention of urban and rural micro, small and medium enterprises by development banks is one of the main objectives within the transformation, productive development and productivity improvement processes, and innovative businesses. Therefore, the working program will emphasize the following fields of attention: microfinances, internationalization of businesses, financing SMEs, business development and the support of innovative businesses, and innovations in funding mechanisms and instruments, risk management and guarantee systems. Because of their strategic position in medium-and long-term financing and their attention to faults and the creation of markets, as well as their capacity to disseminate in local credit markets, development banks play a major role in the generation of environmental or green financial products, and lead the creation of an environmental financial culture, by advising their government in the development of strategies, schemes and instruments. Being aware of their important function, the action of ALIDE in this line will aim at helping DFI to liaise and gain access to the resources of the international green funds, in order to expand their activity in financing the mitigation and adaptation to climate change. The financial activity is greatly exposed to a number of risks. For this reason, there is an international prudential regulation to avoid them, -Basel II, and Basel III- as well as the development of good practices for risk management and administration. In the Working Program, the activities to be carried out will examine the risks from a corporate point of view, analyzing each one of them: credit, market, liquidity, operational, legal, and others, favoring the exchange of experiences in best practices and their application in corporate governance and institutional compliance. 1
With regard to DFI funding, it is important to mention the modalities and instruments used to capture resources to finance productive and social activities. For this reason, ALIDE activity will be focused in the topics of project finance, structuring, administering and extinguishing trust funds earmarked for productive development financing; to treasury business development, by means of a platform of monetary and financial products; and an adequate control of market and liquidity risks, based on a simultaneous management of active and passive operations. Added to this, we have business and investment promotion activities promoted by ALIDE by missions or encounters of development bankers to countries out of the region, the presence of development banks representatives and international financing bodies, bi-regional encounters of development banks, e.g. Latin America and the Caribbean and Asia-Pacific and with Europe. The goal is to strengthen financial cooperation, exchange good practices, and favor the mobilization of investment towards the region. The action of ALIDE is also oriented towards fostering management, developing human capital capabilities, as well as risk administration and management in banking activities, to the accumulation of new knowledge in financing instruments and modalities that contribute to productive transformation, and establish the role and importance of development banking as a public policy instrument to finance our economies. The development of ALIDE Working Program is effective under different modalities such as: international meetings, bankers missions, courses, seminars, economic and financial studies, advisory and technical assistance, consultancy, financial cooperation; and the provision of information, is possible as a result of the participation and collaboration of member organizations, international bodies and cooperation agencies. 2

AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL Poor populations or those poorly integrated to the productive dynamics of national economies are generally located in rural areas, and depend, to a great extent, on agriculture. Consequently, social inclusion and the fight against poverty and inequality, and their great exposure to natural catastrophes demand priority attention to this sector. However, the risks inherent to agricultural activities and those activities depending on it indirectly, limit its development. For this reason, the working program for the agricultural and rural sector focuses on the topic of public policies for the sector, financial inclusion, risk 5
administration and management mechanisms and instruments and financial innovation that will be addressed through technical meetings, studies and exchange of experiences. Technical meetings Meeting Insurance, Catastrophic Risks and Hedge Instruments: New Developments and Good Practices in the Region In view of the current challenges posed by the in agricultural and rural development in Latin America and the Caribbean --food safety, price volatility, decrease of rural poverty, the conservation of the environment, and the provision of adequate resources for the growth and agricultural sustainability, and the recurrence of natural catastrophes are some of the most important ones--; the objective of the meeting is to analyze to use agricultural credit insurance as a means to better manage the inherent risks of providing credit services to a hard-to-reach rural clientele composed of smallholder families, in particular the catastrophic risks and opportunity to develop agricultural insurance to manage agricultural portfolios. Place and date: Lima, Perú, September o October, 2015 (date to be defined).

Organizer: ALIDE. 2.4. CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Because of their strategic position in medium-and long-term financing and their attention to faults and the creation of markets, as well as their capacity to disseminate in local credit markets, development banks have advantages that call them to play a major role in the generation of environmental or green financial products, and lead the creation of an environmental financial culture, by advising their government in the development of strategies, schemes and instruments. ALIDE is fully aware of the importance of its task; therefore, its action will be oriented at strengthening DFIs financial and operative capabilities, at developing green products, to liaise and have access to international green fund resources, in order to extend its action in financing for mitigation and adaptation to climate change, as well as in the process of environmental sustainability in the region through the environmental and social management of their operations. 10

ALIDE GREEN AWARD DFIs are called to play a major role in the sustainable development of the countries, contributing to develop the local productive fabric, not altruistically or with a handout mentality, but trying to make production activities not only economically feasible and socially fair, that is to say including the actors involved, but also environmentally responsible, in order to achieve the conservation and preservation of the environment. In this field, DFIs from both Latin America and the Caribbean as from Europe have pioneered in the development of financial programs to finance the mitigation and adaptation to climate change, as well as in environmental and social management of their operations. To acknowledge these activities or initiatives, as from 2010, ALIDE Awards for Good Practices in Development Financial Institutions include a special annual award in a category called ALIDE GREEN AWARD, to which DFI may apply with their initiatives or programs originating in any of these ways: (1) by their participation in these initiatives; (2) by promoting among their customers the adoption of practices to minimize or eradicate environmental risks; and/or (3) by promoting the application of environmental management and development sustainable practices. 2.5. INTERNATIONAL TRADE In commercial terms, the countries in the region are not well integrated or interrelated; with large differences between the countries. Although the increase in intraregional exports has been substantial in the last 15 years, their participation in the total exports of the region have never exceeded 20%, very far from what happens in regions such as East Asia and the Pacific where such participation is closer to 50%. A sector deserving a particular importance is the exporting SMEs, as it is well-known that their importance, locally and nationally, contrasts significantly with their small participation in the area of 11
international trade. For this reason, the action of development Banks is vital to make it possible for a larger number of SMEs have access to regional markets as exporters of goods and services, with products with added value or that are integrated to exporting chains, one of the possibilities offered by the regional market. Internship Financing of Productive Chains and Support for Increasing Productivity of Foreign Trade in Mexico The actions carried out by Bancomext to support productive and multilatinas chains with financing and services will be made public.

CONSULTING PRODUCTS PROVIDED BY ALIDE AND ITS STRATEGIC PARTNERS Good Corporate Governance Index (GCGI) With good corporate governance practices, companies establish a better organization, gaining efficiency, competitiveness, generating value in the activities they carry out. But, how can we find out if they are applying the specific strategies correctly? For such purpose, ALIDE, together with the consultancy companies Mercados de Capitales, Inversiones y Finanzas (MCIF) y Global Risk Management (GRISKM)- led the creation of a standard on the quality of corporate governance, to be applied to financial institutions, to be provided as a consultancy service. The application of the IBGC comprises two stages: (1) a first stage of diagnosis of the standard of the corporate governance to establish a level of qualification or degree of quality of the corporate governance; and, (2) planning and implementing improvements to the corporate governance. The qualification derives from the corporate governance standard in place in the institution. Such assessment is carried out by identifying the risks limiting the creation of value as a result of the current good corporate governance (GCP) practices. The qualification will be valid for a year, after which it will need to be updated. 21
During the GC improvements planning and implementation stage, the following is intended to be achieved: (a) a specific characterization of the improvements required in GC, based on the quality assessment made, and settle as specifically as possible, the mechanisms required for that purpose; (b) prepare, based on the methodology, the plan and the implementation of improvements in GC; and (c) accompany in implementing for each of the improvement areas, as needed by the banks. Sistema de Gestión Integral del Riesgo (Risk Comprehensive Management System) - SENSOR GIR. This is an early alert system to evaluate and control risks for financial institutions, in order to assess managerial results, analyzing quantitative and qualitative indicators. Additionally, it establishes a correlation between expected and achieved results, both from the economic as well as the financial point of view, identifying significant detours, in order to apply the necessary corrective measures on time. To apply it, historical information is use in order to build trends with the indicators obtained, which, once completed with the projections, reveal immediately the early alert signal, not only to assess the present situation, but also the future one. This will make possible to make timely decisions to reduce the risks observed to a great extent. The results produced by the GIR are utterly important for: (a) the institution, because it learns about its financial and economic situation on line, measured through the management of its risks; (b) the Board, who uses this analysis striving for the maximum efficiency which would allow them to keep a sound financial position, and obtain the adequate profitability on the investment; (c) the existing internal control for the activities to develop within the parameters established for such effect; and (d) in the case of second-floor entities, to be able to follow-up first-floor intermediaries and have signs to be able to anticipate potential risks of deterioration of the future situation of those entities. Support to Strengthen the Implementation of Basil Agreements.

Agricultural Credits Assessment and Classification According to the Productive Cycle The objective is to contribute to bringing financial entities together in supporting agricultural financing, through an appropriate and fair policy for assessing and ranking agricultural debtors, by means of which both debtors and financial institutions may be benefited. The benefits are the transparency on the actual situation of agricultural credits, lower costs for the agricultural debtor, and lower provisions for the financial institutions. The consultancy comprises the following: 22
Prepare a circular or standard for the assessment and classification of agricultural credits; have as basic assumption that because of their nature they should be based on campaigns, following the productive cycle defining the actual situation of the agricultural debtor management. The standard proposed considers that agricultural credits should be considered in the normal classification category during the two (2) first agricultural campaigns. Subsequently, and if the risk situation continues, it would be considered as overdue credit in the third campaign and as loss after the fourth campaign. If the mentioned standards are applied, the total provisions for agricultural credits would be released, as they would be classified as a portfolio with potential problems and deficiencies. In order to minimize the risks, the proposal includes the design of a form on the minimal technical aspects that support the feasibility of the plot or hectares of the proposed sown field, which should be annexed to the Credit Proposal. In this order of ideas, the basis for developing the application of productive chains engaging the four (4) actor of agricultural financing are established: the agricultural debtor duly qualified, the appropriate suppliers, the buyer, already registered, and the financial body providing the credit.

Assessment of Development Banks Performance - INDICE ALIDE PLUS Regarding the performance assessment, it has been commonplace to bias the measure of performance towards indicators of solvency, profitability and risk management; measures that have a rationale (health and survival is the priority), but not the ultimate and sole objective of development financial institutions ALIDE in alliance with the company Aplicaciones de Inteligencia Artificial S.A. from Spain, has developed a performance assessment tool for development banks, which has as background a basic methodology developed in 2007. The current tool, called INDICE ALIDE PLUS incorporates new modules, flexible and adaptable to the nature and the compliance of the mandate of development financial institutions, and does not pretend to substitute the measures used, but integrate them into a wider vision, where, on one hand, the valuation of traditional measures is made in social terms (job creation, social inclusion, reduction of poverty, increase in fixed capital, increase in exports, etc.), and on the other, measures of their efficiency are incorporated in the specific objectives typical of development financial institutions. The consultancy consists of: (a) a diagnosis of the financial institution activity and the availability of databases for evaluating performance; (2) development and adaptation of a methodology and a computing tool for evaluating the performance; and (3) the bank's performance assessment report. 7.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION ALIDE, as a mechanism for cooperation, coordination and consensus-building on actions in development banking and financing, promotes financial and technical cooperation with international cooperation bodies and agencies, in order to mobilize resource to finance Latin American development, technical cooperation, the incorporation of technology, training of human resources, the organization of joint studies, among other topics. The purpose is to integrate and strengthen such members, encourage their contribution to the integration process, to the social and economic development, and to improve their individual and collective action. With the Agence française de développement (AFD), during this year of 2015, on occasion of the Celac- UE Summit, it has been proposed to organize an «Encounter of Development Banks from Latin America and the Caribbean and the European Union». This is so, because development banks from the two regions, insofar as instruments of public policy for medium- and long-term financing, are able to play an important role to contribute with the objectives of financial cooperation between both blocks to finance trade, investments, business cooperation, and the mobilization of resources for development in the summit priority topics. Additionally, it has been anticipated to organize a Mission of Development Bankers to Paris, France, to learn about AFD systems and solutions to development financing in our region, the priority sectors and the way it operates together with the local banking, as well as to make overtures around projects and activities of common interest. With Instituto de Crédito Oficial (ICO), from Spain, it is also expected to continue carrying out joint activities. For this year, it is anticipated to involve Latin American development banks in the XIII International Programme for Directors of Development Banking, organized by Instituto de Crédito Oficial, ICO and the Foundation with the same name. This program intends to show the organization, the products, the risk management, the funding and the relationship of ICO with Governmental policies. The same thing will happen with the International Programme for Executives of Financial Institutions, organized by ICO and one of the main Spanish business schools in Madrid, aimed at the main executives in development banks, that addresses aspects such as the international economic and political context, leadership and managerial abilities, capital markets, investment banking, among other relevant topics for executives coming from development banks. Furthering the cooperation for the joint organization of meetings and/or seminars oriented at strengthening the capabilities of development banking in financing the mitigation and adaptation of climate change, and environmental sustainability and its access to international financing sources or green funds, and in particular in GCF - Green Climate Fund-, with the Inter-American Development 27
Bank (IADB),it has been agree to organize a seminar-workshop "National Development Banks and Green Finances": Opportunities and Modalities to Gain Access to the Green Fund for the Climate - Lessons Learnt from international Green Funds" in order to share experiences with green funds for National Development Banks; strengthen the capacity to access the international green fund GCF, and to review the situation of the existing green funds in national development banks. In this initiative, Nacional Financiera (NAFIN) from Mexico and ECLA are also involved. With the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), a Letter of Agreement has been signed in order to make studies to identify and propose agricultural insurance products that Latin American development financial institutions may use as risk management tools in their rural and agricultural credit portfolios, and as a way to contribute to explore their applications in these development financing institutions operations. The study comprises the global analysis of experiences in the use of agricultural insurance to manage risks in credit portfolios; the diagnosis of agricultural credit insurance products applicable to four countries in the region; and the presentation and discussion of the final results of the studies in a meeting with the participation of the different actors involved in the use of this kind of financial instruments. The studies are financed by FAO. ALIDE, as member of the World Federation of development financial institutions (WFDFI) keeps ties and cooperation relationships with their peers from other regions of the world. For this reason, on occasion of the World Bank Annual Meeting /IMG that will be held in October 2015 in the city of Lima, Peru, at ALIDE Headquarters, it has proposed the WFDFI the joint organization of the "International Conference on Development Banking in the 21st Century", to share experiences on the role and validity of development banking in the world, public policies, and the fields of banking activities, funding, loans, investments and technical assistance, financing of infrastructure projects; climate change; productive, social and services sectors; and international trade. Within the framework of the United Nations Organization and its specialized development agencies, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed with the UNEP FI Initiative Innovative Financing for Sustainability, in order to join effort to disseminate and incorporate methodologies for taking into account environmental and social risks in financial institutions in the context of the environmental sustainability of their operations, through the organization of joint specialized courses and seminars, in particular on the analysis of environmental and social risks (ARAS) adapted to development banks. Besides the activities and the institutions mentioned, with whom joint activities are organized, ALIDE also has cooperation relationships with the following international bodies and institutions: A.
