UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF DEVELOPMENT FINANCE INSTITUTIONS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
RESEARCH QUESTIONS INCLUDE:
- (I) What are development priorities in 3 countries (Ethiopia, Ghana and Kenya)?
(II) How do development priorities map in broad terms to SDGs? - What is the profile (broad and sectoral disaggregation) of DFIs allocations of investment and of other financial flows (to the extent possible given data availability) in the three countries?
- What financing activities are likely to support development priorities in Ethiopia, Ghana and Kenya? This covers direct and indirect impacts and involves discussing a theory of change.
- Where are DFI allocations aligned with development priorities (incl. the SDGs) and where is there to date less involvement from DFIs?
- Based on the results from question 2, 3 & 4 where do current DFI investments complement national priorities well and where are there forward-looking opportunities for DFIs to further contribute toward reaching significant SDG milestones in alignment with national development targets?
