Reflections on the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact: more mobilisation promised, but will we ever know if it has been delivered?

By Paul James | Jul 12, 2023 | Blog

The mobilisation of private finance for development outcomes was a central part of the discussions during the recent Paris summit, with more emphasis placed on the need to mobilise “at scale”.

By Paul James | Jan 11, 2022 | Blog

Looking at the second component of our DFI Transparency Tool, this blog argues that the “development scores” produced by new DFI impact management systems are of limited value. DFIs should instead focus on disclosing the granular impact data that informs these scores.

What is core information and why is it fundamental to the transparency of development finance institutions?

By Paul James | Dec 16, 2021 | Blog

This blog introduces the first of the components of our DFI Transparency Tool, core information. It expands on the theme of uneven progress in improving transparency, and reflects on why and how we initially focused our research on the basic information that provides the foundations for true transparency.
