Abstract

Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), provide guarantees, loans and technical support to help to mitigate the risks posed by private sector projects with large sunk costs, including infrastructure projects.

The aim of this review is to assess the developmental impact of this DFI activity in the infrastructure sector. Specifically, whether DFI engagement is able to leverage additional private sector infrastructure investment and, if so, the extent to which this creates positive development outcomes. This protocol describes the background to the review and the methods used
