What We Don't Know Can Hurt Us: Better Measurement and Disclosure of MDB Private Finance Mobilization Data

While many point to the need for much larger MDB mobilization of private sustainable development finance, we lack sufficient evidence on current performance to assess where the best opportunities for mobilization lie—including by sector, country, region, and financial instrument. This information gap is particularly worrisome as shareholders and donors are being asked to provide more concessional resources to support private finance mobilization, without having a strong basis to judge where and how their scarce funds can be most productively deployed.

Publish What You Fund has completed an ambitious work program aimed at strengthening mobilization measurement and reporting. It has developed a well-evidenced set of recommendations on what needs to be measured and disclosed to be most useful to public and private stakeholders.

After presentation of this work, a panel will explore the key measurement and disclosure challenges that need to be resolved in order to make and track more mobilization progress.

This event is co-hosted with Publish What You Fund.
