Mobilising Private Capital for Growth, Resilience and Prosperity

Annex B. Methodology used to assess institutional focus on mobilisation

Scope of Institutions

This assessment covered a total of 55 institutions, categorised as follows (Table A A.1 in Annex A):

• 11 MDBs

• 3 bilateral development banks

• 17 bilateral DFIs

• 24 regional and national development banks of developing countries

Approaches

The methodology evaluates the extent to which institutions are aligned with the agenda of mobilising private capital, based on three dimensions.

1. Legal mandates

The foundational legal documents of each institution (e.g. charters, articles of agreement, articles of associations) were reviewed to determine whether private capital mobilisation is explicitly included in their mandate. Institutions were then classified into three categories:

• Promotes private capital mobilisation: the legal mandate explicitly references the mobilisation or facilitation of private investment or private capital.

• Promotes broad capital mobilisation: the mandate refers to general capital mobilisation without explicitly distinguishing private capital.

• Capital mobilisation not mentioned: no reference to capital mobilisation is found in the legal documents.

• Documentation not found: no relevant legal documentation could be identified or accessed at the time of review.

2. Strategy

The most recent publicly available strategy documents were analysed to assess whether private capital mobilisation is identified as a strategic priority. Institutions were classified as follows:

• Promotes private capital mobilisation: the strategy explicitly mentions private capital mobilisation as a strategic priority.

• Promotes broad capital mobilisation: the strategy highlights general resource or capital mobilisation as a strategic priority, which may implicitly include private capital.

• Capital mobilisation not mentioned: the strategy does not reference promoting capital mobilisation.

• Documentation not found: no relevant strategy documentation could be identified or accessed at the time of review.

3. KPI targets

Annual reports and strategy documents were reviewed, supplemented by desktop research, to determine whether institutions published specific KPI targets related to private capital mobilisation. Institutions were classified as follows:

• Private capital mobilisation KPI targets defined: the institution published a specific, measurable KPI target explicitly related to mobilising private capital.

• General capital mobilisation KPI targets defined: the institution defined KPI targets related to broader capital mobilisation, not specific to private capital.

• No mobilisation KPI targets defined: no relevant KPI targets were identified in the reviewed documentation.

• Documentation not found: no relevant documentation with corporate KPI targets could be identified or accessed at the time of review.
