Multilaterals• Multilaterals are trusted, have country presence,
deep knowledge pools, scale, and GPGs
• In practice, they are most effective in maximizing efficiency and reducing the burden on recipients (QuODA)
• …and are most suitable for operating in fragile states.
• But, they are at best holding their own in development finance and at worst constrained by risk averse stakeholders.

There is no going back to the old multilateralism.(EPG Report, “Making the Global Financial System Work for All,” 2018)
• Multilaterals are the only institutions that can be rapidly scaled to match the urgency of the situation.
• They can increase impact by developing scalable, system-wide approaches, not just projects.
• Multilateral governance reform is key.
The ambition is in the doing.(EPG Report, “Making the Global Financial System Work for All,” 2018)

South-South Cooperation• Evidence on Belt and Road Initiative
» Mixed views: McKinsey cites concern about import of cheap Chinese labor, Bräutigamwrites that ¾ or more of workers are local
» Chinese development projects may have negative environmental externalities (AidData 2016).
• Debt resolution difficulties
• “Clear choice” isn’t so clear

Mobilization of Private Capital • Blended funds and impact
investing are “all talk and little action.”
• Private capital does not reach the hardest places.
• Two big impediments:» Risk mitigation in emerging economies
» Small project size with high fixed costs in low-income countries

Global Public Goods (GPGs)• GPGs are not always counted as
development finance (e.g. peacekeeping)
• Core challenges include:» Governance (e.g. the Green Climate Fund)
» Mandate issues (e.g. ocean preservation)
