Partnering with public financial institutions
Partnerships with Development Banks
GFANZ partners with multilateral development banks on initiatives that engage private financial institutions in designing and improving solutions to mobilize private capital. GFANZ has supported the World Bank’s Private Sector Investment Lab since its inception and is working with the African Development Bank on the AfDB Mobilization Lab.
Catalytic Capital Repository
In partnership with Global Capacity Building Coalition, L’Institut de la Finance Durable, and other partners, GFANZ leads the development of the Catalytic Capital Repository, an online platform that helps private-sector financial institutions more readily identify and access catalytic capital and risk-mitigation instruments to support investment in emerging markets and developing economies.
Research and Analysis
GFANZ works with its partners to develop practical research and analysis that supports public and private sector financial institutions in mobilizing private capital.
Scaling Blended Finance
GFANZ partnered with British International Investment (BII) and BCG on a practical resource to support fund managers and catalytic investors in structuring blended finance funds, providing a recommended framework to assess when, what, and how much concessional capital is needed to attract commercial investors.
Catalytic Equity and the Clean Energy Equity Investment Gap
Building on the work of the World Bank Private Sector Investment Lab, GFANZ partnered with Climate Policy Initiative, with support from Allied Climate Partners and Three Cairns Group, on research sizing the equity investment gap for energy transition in emerging markets and developing economies. The report highlights the potential of catalytic equity as a tool to unlock private investment.
