Official development finance plays a strategic role in mobilising private investment to support sustainable development in low- and middle-income countries. To enhance transparency and accountability, the OECD has established an international standard for measuring and reporting the amounts mobilised from the private sector by bilateral and multilateral development actors, including towards climate action, providing a robust evidence base to inform policy and track progress.

A look at the recipients
This graph displays the geographical distribution of private finance mobilised by official development finance interventions, broken down by recipient country or region (see the Development Assistance Committee DAC list) and leveraging mechanism. Since 2012, the bulk of such finance has flowed to countries in Asia and Africa. The data also show that, across all recipient countries, guarantees and direct investments in companies or special purpose vehicles (SPVs) have consistently been the most widely used leveraging mechanisms.
Sectoral distribution by recipient and leveraging mechanism
This chart shows the sectoral distribution of private finance mobilised across recipient countries and regions, broken down by leveraging mechanism. It highlights regional differences in sectoral allocations. Since 2012, banking has emerged as the primary sector targeted—particularly in Africa and the Americas—followed by the energy sector, which has seen a more balanced distribution across Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
