Innovative Finance for DevelopmentThe Commonwealth Secretariat has launched ‘Innovative Finance for Development: A Commonwealth Toolkit icon during their Finance Ministers Meetings in Washington DC. Co-authored by former DFI Programme Manager Nils Bhinda, this handbook is a toolkit containing a one-stop shop where countries can find information about suitable funding for development and aims at guiding countries, especially the smallest, poorest and most vulnerable, and their development partners, with ideas on identifying, evaluating and selecting financing options to boost their development plans. In a context where financing needs significantly exceed the finance available, even if the international community meets its existing ODA commitments, this manual intends to help policy makers navigate the innovative finance landscape and match sources to fund particular development goals.
