Insight: Blended finance in the national planning process

Based on work with the Forum, this point of view shares thinking on how to close the $1 trillion infrastructure gap in developing countries, offering four key actions governments should focus on:

1. Align national planning with investor needs for project preparation;
2. Engage with donors and DFIs to address critical risks and build concessional finance into the deal;
3. Strengthen PPP units to coordinate between government agencies and the private sector; and
4. Leverage multi-stakeholder initiatives and platforms, including SDIP.
