Insights from project level case studies on blended finance

While blended finance is emerging as an area of interest among donor governments, evidence is lacking on the outcomes and implications of blending as one approach in a toolkit of development co-operation approaches. This chapter presents insights from ten project level case studies of blended finance. It describes how blending has been applied in each case, focussing on the sources and terms of financing for each project, the financing structures used, and the project’s contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The chapter points to implications for donor government policies and raises operational issues that need to be considered.
