Research & Analysis

DFI has conducted research and analysis for a wide range of international organisations, OECD and developing country governments, and civil society coalitions on global policies to improve the financing of development, through debt relief, new aid and foreign private capital.

Some of this research has been under the HIPC Capacity Building Programme and FPC Capacity Building Programme, resulting in publications and technical briefings on debt strategy and public finance issues and foreign private capital. It has also produced specially commissioned research for donors, international organizations and civil society organizations, resulting in many technical briefings, reports, papers and studies.

Topics covered include:

  • External Public Financing: developing countries’ experiences of OECD and Southern donor-creditor aid policies and practices, reforming multilateral institutions (especially the IMF and global facilities against shocks), and best practices in aid effectiveness; and non-concessional multilateral, bilateral and commercial financing, bonds and public-private partnerships
  • Domestic Public Financing: domestic debt policies and financial market development, financial sector development and monetary policy, and domestic revenue mobilisation
  • Aid: DFI has also prepared a Guide to the policies and procedures of bilateral OECD organisations, as listed below, to assist developing countries in choosing financing sources and other stakeholders in assessing the relative quality of different financing.
