Development Finance Institutions
Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) play a crucial role in improving the business and investment climate in their respective region. Besides their role as direct financiers, DFIs also play a role as catalysts to leverage additional investment of companies related to the Sustainable Development Goals. The ICR Facility supports DFIs through the dissemination of good practices and through capacity building on topics such as: developing and delivering specific products, using blended finance instruments, building investment pipelines, and strengthening institutional structures.
