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.

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.

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.
