The African Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) Performance Survey 2025 presents the results of a survey covering 37 African DFIs, assessing their financial performance, operational effectiveness, institutional characteristics, and development impact during fiscal year 2024. The report provides empirical evidence on how African DFIs balance financial sustainability with their development mandates, highlighting trends in governance, lending models, sectoral priorities, climate finance, gender inclusion, financial performance, and institutional capacity. It also identifies key challenges related to capitalization, risk management, and operational effectiveness, offering policy recommendations to strengthen the resilience and development impact of African DFIs.

The Financing for Sustainable Development Report 2026: Implementing the Sevilla Commitment finds that development progress is imperiled by global fragmentation and a financing squeeze facing developing countries. Instead of progress promised in 2015, the world is rapidly moving backward. The FSDR 2026 shows how the Sevilla Commitment can be operationalized to reverse the current trends in financing for development, even in these most difficult circumstances. The implementation of the Sevilla Commitment represents the best hope to achieve the SDGs.

The Guideline Handbook for Strengthening African DFIs for Climate-Resilient Development provides a practical framework to help African development finance institutions (DFIs) enhance their capacity to mobilize and deploy climate finance. It examines the evolution, mandates, and institutional challenges of African DFIs and presents actionable guidance on governance, financial readiness, project preparation, ESG integration, human capital, digital monitoring systems, and investment readiness. Through case studies and practical tools, the handbook identifies best practices for strengthening institutional resilience, improving access to concessional and blended finance, and aligning operations with national climate priorities, the Paris Agreement, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The ADFIAP–AADFI Joint International CEO Forum 2025 Summary Report presents the main discussions and outcomes of a high-level forum that convened development finance leaders from Asia, the Pacific, and Africa under the theme “Resilient Future: Harnessing Sustainable Finance for Development.” The report highlights strategic recommendations on sustainable finance, climate resilience, blended finance, digital transformation, governance, regulatory frameworks, and private sector mobilization. It emphasizes the central role of national development banks and development finance institutions (DFIs) in advancing inclusive, climate-resilient growth through stronger partnerships, innovative financing mechanisms, and improved institutional capacity. The report concludes with key policy messages aimed at strengthening sustainable development and regional cooperation across developing economies.

The Principles for Taxonomy Interoperability, launched by the Taxonomy Roadmap Initiative at a Pre-COP30 event in São Paulo, guide policymakers in developing sustainable finance taxonomies that are credible and comparable across borders. As over 50 taxonomies exist globally, interoperability is essential to facilitate cross-border investment and efficient capital allocation. The Principles provide common tenets for taxonomy design, governance, and implementation, enabling greater transparency and investor confidence. By fostering alignment between emerging and developed markets, interoperable taxonomies can mobilize the climate finance needed to achieve decarbonization, resilience, and the Paris Agreement goals.
