The Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) wishes to commission a Systematic Review on the evidence of the impact of Development Finance Institutions (DFI) support on economic growth and poverty reduction.

At the broad level, there is clearly a link between infrastructure investment, economic growth and poverty reduction. Less clear are the links between DFI investment and the role of private sector participation in stimulating growth and poverty reduction, and, specifically, the additionality impacts of DFI support to the sector.

The Systematic Review will address the following question:

What is the evidence of the impact of DFI support (including PIDG support) for PPI, on economic growth and poverty reduction? What conclusions can be drawn from this evidence to help DFIs better target their investment to maximise their impact on economic growth and poverty reduction?

Proposals should be submitted by 3 September 2010.
