“Performance remains low, especially for non-sovereign DFIs, particularly in the most critical areas: impact data, private capital mobilization, climate finance and assurance of community disclosure,” says @publishwhatyoufund.bsky.social's @gjforster.bsky.social. impactalpha.com/development-...

The 2025 DFI Transparency Index reveals a breakthrough in private capital mobilisation transparency: ✅ IDB Invest is the 1st DFI to pass our PCM transparency test ✅ CAF started publishing PCM data after retroactively obtaining client consent www.publishwhatyoufund.org/dfi-index/20... #FFD4

Development finance can’t unlock private capital without transparency. The 2025 DFI Index shows progress, but major data gaps persist. Rhetoric alone won’t mobilise billions, so action and openness are essential. on.ft.com/3TvVXwN

🔍 New: The 2025 DFI Transparency Index looks at how DFIs report climate finance. Most share methodologies, but many still lack project-level data—making it hard to track actual climate investments. 📥 Read more: www.publishwhatyoufund.org/download/202... #2025Index #ClimateFinance

🚨 The 2025 DFI Transparency Index shows transparency is improving. But not enough. There’s been real strides in data quality, accessibility, and harmonisation, but critical gaps remain in climate finance, impact, mobilisation and assurance of community disclosure.

🌍 As more public finance is channelled to the private sector in the name of development, we ask how well are donors and DFIs disclosing the additionality of their investments? This new blog explores what we found: www.publishwhatyoufund.org/2025/04/maki... #DFIs #ODA #GlobalDev

As traditional aid shrinks, non-ODA financial flows are more crucial than ever—but transparency is lagging. Without clear data, real impact is at risk. It’s time to extend transparency beyond ODA to ensure every dollar counts: www.publishwhatyoufund.org/2025/03/expa...

Better data > better outcomes Greater transparency means better coordination, more effective spending, and ensuring climate finance reaches those who need it most. See our findings: www.publishwhatyoufund.org/download/bet... #Transparency #Climate

🌍 Can we track the new $300bn climate finance goal? Our review of the 4 largest climate funds finds: ✅ Good project-level data on their own websites ⚠️ 3 don’t publish data to IATI, making it harder to compare with other climate & development finance, coordinate efforts & track impact #ClimateFinance

🌍 How can we improve understanding & coordination of climate finance? In this new blog, Ryan Anderton & Alex Tilley examine the data published by the 4 largest climate funds & outline why they should also report to IATI : www.publishwhatyoufund.org/2025/04/how-... #ClimateFinance #Transparency

In this Bond blog, our CEO @gjforster.bsky.social discusses the power of transparency in fighting disinformation about USAID… www.bond.org.uk/news/2025/03... #GlobalDev #USAIDcuts

🔎 Philanthropy’s transparency gap In 2022, 26 foundations pledged to increase local funding—but we’ve found most haven’t shared targets or progress. Without #transparency, impact is unclear. Local groups can’t wait. It’s time for action. www.publishwhatyoufund.org/download/pro... #Philanthropy

The index, published every two years since 2012, was unable to secure funding for another edition.

With ongoing aid cuts, we should remember the trillions of dollars on MDB & DFI balance sheets & their potential to mobilise even more private sector funds. But there’s little visibility on how this is working.

Our new strategy- a bold plan to reinforce transparency as a pillar of effective, accountable aid -builds on years of progress & responds to today's new challenges. Gary Forster& Al Kags set out why we want to make #AidTransparency bigger, better & louder: www.publishwhatyoufund.org/2025/03/laun...

After a busy start to the year, we took a moment to reflect on our achievements in 2024. Here’s what we got up to and the influence our work has had… #AidTransparency #ForeignAid #Localization #DevFin #ImpInv #Gender www.publishwhatyoufund.org/download/202...

Not enough people are talking about this. There is one source of new development finance which is somewhat immune to current geopolitics yet we don’t have the transparency to understand how it’s working or how to scale it!

We’ve increased the size of these sessions so look again if you couldn’t find a space before.

We’re disappointed to announce that the 2026 Aid Transparency Index is cancelled. @gjforster.bsky.social tells @devex.com what this means for #AidTransparency: www.devex.com/news/opinion... #GlobalDev #ForeignAid #Transparency

Global public goods are hard to fund, even when they are accompanied by evidence of global impact. Given the scale of #misinformation about #USAID and #Ukraine this timing couldn’t be worse.
