Description
The OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) approved the five Blended Finance Principles in 2017 and developed a Guidance for each of them in 2020. The Blended Finance Guidance is currently being updated to ensure that it remains relevant in a changing development finance context, and that it is fit-for-purpose in mobilising private finance at scale. This session will dive into the latest knowledge from the update of the OECD Blended Finance Guidance. It will highlight what has worked and what has not worked so well in the blended finance landscape, and how international development actors can improve the effective and efficient use of blended finance interventions to mobilise private finance at scale.
