Nancy Lee of the Center for Global Development has argued that donors should create “special purpose vehicles” or off-balance-sheet investment funds that would shift the risk from the donor onto an outside entity.
A study by the Center for Global Development concluded that by using a combination of debt, equity, and guarantees from development finance institutions or MDBs, $1 of public sector resources should generate over $5 of private capital investment.
The Center for Global Development think tank said a review of 535 public-private infrastructure deals funded in the region in those years showed that China's investments dwarfed those of other governments and multilateral development banks.
China’s development banks lent more than twice as much for public-private infrastructure projects in sub-Saharan Africa as the US, Germany, Japan, and France’s development finance institutions combined, according to a new study from the Center for Global Development.
