Evaluation Study of Blended Finance for Development:

This evaluation study examines blended finance as a development finance approach that uses concessional public resources (and, in some cases, philanthropic funds) to catalyse private investment in support of development objectives. The study sets out an explicit economic rationale for when such interventions are warranted; documents how mobilised private finance has been allocated across instruments, institutions, countries, and sectors between 2012 and 2023; synthesises recent empirical evidence on outcomes and additionality.
