Context
3. • In 1990s and early 2000s:
– co-operation between the Task Force and the Project
Preparation Committee, incl. joint annual meetings
• More recently:
– Collaboration through events at regional and country level
– OECD analysis and tools that informed DFIs’ efforts to
design and structure investment projects or were used by
DFIs to support country/regional strategy development
– Formal and informal exchange of information and co-
ordination
Past and existing co-operation
4. National policy dialogues, workshops
Regional events, e.g. Task Force in Almaty or
International Conference on Unlocking Private Finance
for Greener Growth
EBRD developed a WWTP project in Armenia from the
list of WSS infrastructure projects prioritised through the
NPD on Water
A Financing Strategy methodology and FEASIBLE model
that informed DFIs’ work on WSS investment
Development of Clean Public Transport Programme in

supporting clean public transport financing
Donor co-ordination in Kazakhstan
