Year: 2015

Content-Type: Report

Description: Public policymakers from developed and developing countries, at all levels (national, regional, local), have the opportunity to take leadership as FLR financing champions. Even without controlling private capital, they can support resource mobilization in a number of ways. This publication shares the experiences of some initiatives from around the world which public policymakers can learn from and adapt. It provides recommendations to help them improve their support to FLR financing by (i) Mainstreaming FLR in State budgets; (ii) Setting up appropriate financing mechanisms; (iii) Engaging the private sector; and (iv) Building alliances and partnerships.
