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.

🚨 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.
🌍 Development finance institutions play a pivotal role in delivering and mobilising climate finance. So what do we know about their climate investments?

A bar chart showing the proportion of direct local funding by five OECD DAC donors, based on PWYF’s approach. The graph shows the Netherlands-MFA at the top with the highest proportion at 6.9%, followed by UK-FCDO at 6.3%, Australia-DFAT at 6.2%, Canada-GAC at 5.3%, and USAID at 5.1%. There is a separate bar shows the proportion across all five donors is 5.5%.
🚨 New report: Metrics Matter III
