COMMERCIAL INVESTOR WHO WORKED WITH A DIRECT FINANCE INITIATIVE (DFI):
"Language, meaning cultural/business language, comprehension is vital.
Development banks are often not driven by the same issues and concerns as institutional investors. The opposite is also true. Once we speak each other’s language, progress is much faster."
The Solution
More personal relationships at the right levels are crucial in accelerating the development of blended finance solutions. Building a wider and deeper mutual understanding between the different stakeholders of their agendas, constraints, risk appetites and ways of working is key.
The fastest way to achieve this is for people to spend time in organisations other than their own, in a structured way.
This can be delivered via an institution-to-institution secondment/exchange scheme.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Take our pilot
survey
The first stage of the pilot programme is a market survey which you can access here. The focus of this survey is to take the temperature of the climate & blended finance ecosystem. We will use the results to tailor the pilot secondment scheme and subsequently the full program to the areas most in demand.
