The UK Department for International Development (DFID) and Convergence have convened a Working Group of development-focused organizations to collaborate on “scale” blended finance initiatives. DFID has commissioned Convergence to draft three reports: (1) Scaling Blended Finance for the SDGs (December 2019), (2) How to Mobilize Private Investment At Scale in Blended Finance, and (3) Optimal Risk Mitigation Approaches in Blended Finance (forthcoming). Collectively, these three reports provide key information on how to build a more effective and efficient blended finance market that can mobilize private investment at scale.
In this report, Convergence, DFID and stakeholders, re-visit Convergence’s 2018 Report: Who is the Private Sector? Convergence has convened a group of over 20 leading global privates sector investors to reflect on the current state of blended finance to identify key recommendations needed to accelerate the market.
