Launched in 2020, the CoP-P4FSD brings together DAC members, bilateral and multilateral development finance institutions, the private sector and other stakeholders to promote the effective use of blended finance. The community of practice is a platform to concretely step-up progress towards the mobilisation of private finance that is fundamental in closing the development and climate financing gaps
DAC Community of Practice on Private Finance for Sustainable Development
The Community of Practice on Private Finance for Sustainable Development (CoP-P4FSD) of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) aims to advance the mobilisation of private finance for sustainable development.
About
Our mission
To fulfil its aim, the CoP-PF4SD promotes policy work, and facilitates peer learning, knowledge sharing, co-ordination and joint action.
How it works
The CoP-PF4SD is a source of evidence-based policy work on blended finance. It promotes mobilisation best practices through the OECD DAC Blended Finance Principles and Guidance, and the OECD-UNDP Impact Standards for Financing Sustainable Development. By bringing together actors from across the development system, the CoP-PF4SD looks to address challenges and obstacles in mobilisation, and the role that the DAC and OECD can play in this area. A particular focus is on instruments such as guarantees and structures, funds and facilities, as well as thematic bonds.
The CoP-PF4SD is a platform to exchange best practices and consult with other stakeholders to develop cutting edge policy. Its members hold regular meetings, webinars, and biennial conferences. Within the CoP-PF4SD, an informal core group of donors help direct the discussions and work of the Community.
