Following the launch of our DFI Transparency Tool, George Ingram of Brookings Institution reflects on what we learned from the event and why transparency—the public availability of timely, comparable, and comprehensive information—on development finance could be on the cusp of a march forward.
The way we think and talk about aid transparency is evolving. Our new three-year strategy sets out how we want to work and what we want to achieve by 2024. We are moving towards a definition of transparency which includes not just publication but engagement and accountability. In this blog, our Chair, Paul Lenz, and CEO, Gary Forster, provide more insights into our thinking, focus areas and goals.
Rob Mosbacher, former President and CEO of OPIC, shares his thoughts on the journey to develop the DFI Transparency Tool, and why it is a practical and significant step for development finance institutions.

In this blog series, produced jointly by researchers at the Center for Global Development, Publish What You Fund, and Donor Tracker, we aim to:
1.review existing accountability tools related to bilateral, multilateral, and/or philanthropic donor institutions’ funding for gender equality,
2.review how these tools have been studied to date, and
3.propose how we can use and improve upon available tools to push for more and better financing to achieve SDG 5.
