🌱 Next week, we're excited to release our assessment of FAO, an organisation whose mandate is more relevant than ever. The report covers a moment where FAO is pushing forward with ambitious reforms to become more effective, but tight budget constraints present unique challenges. Here's a bit of what to expect in our assessment. ⬇ While FAO has had notable success in raising voluntary funding for its country-level projects, this has put increasing pressure on its country offices to deliver. Additionally, the growing reliance on voluntary funding, which is mostly earmarked, coupled with a regular budget that saw its first small increase in 12 years, poses challenges. Addressing these issues requires close collaboration with Members to transition towards sustainable funding. Stay tuned for key insights and solutions in our report about the challenges that lie ahead of FAO as global food security deteriorates and the urgency for climate action grows. 🌍

📝 Earlier this month, we launched our first assessment of EBRD. The assessment confirms the ongoing relevance of EBRD's mandate and leadership on global issues like climate change, while also identifying emerging challenges in demonstrating its impact on transition results. Here are a few of the key findings ⬇ -As all MDBs seek to enable private-sector development, EBRD offers lessons on how to integrate policy reform into its country strategies and operations for a coherent approach to driving transition. -Mobilising private capital is an essential part of MDBs’ comparative advantage. Through its mobilisation approach, EBRD has scaled-up Annual Mobilised Investment through new approaches and partnerships, including with donors, insurance providers and institutional investors. -EBRD can take its management of environmental and social risk from good practice to best practice by leveraging technology to demonstrate compliance, ensure positive safeguard outcomes for beneficiaries and respond to evolving risks.

🥕 As we recognise UN World Food Day, we want to highlight our upcoming assessment of FAO. FAO's mandate has never been more relevant than today, as climate change, conflict and instability, economic shocks, supply chain disruptions and soaring energy prices have all contributed to deteriorating food security conditions.    There is an urgent need for action. In 2023, 733 million people faced hunger, and over 2.33 billion lacked access to adequate food. Additionally, 282 million in 59 countries experienced acute food insecurity, and over 2.8 billion couldn't afford a healthy diet.   These compounding issues demand a coordinated response and an organisation that is equipped to lead. Find out how FAO is responding to the challenge in our new report out mid November.

🚀 Last week, we launched our assessment of EBRD. Here are three key findings from the report that can serve as useful lessons to all MDBs. ⬇ • EBRD has updated its transition concept to reflect the increasing complexity of transition and development challenges, embedding its new approach throughout its strategic and operational architecture. Now, it needs to more clearly demonstrate how it is "moving the needle" on transition in countries and contributing to transition outcomes. • EBRD needs to treat client facing knowledge as a strategic asset, demonstrating how it contributes to policy reform, enables investment and drives transformational impacts. • EBRD has fostered a robust risk management culture through ongoing, iterative reforms. It has enhanced policy and governance, embedded risk management processes and set the "tone from the top," creating a culture where risk management is everyone's responsibility.

Success stories from our EBRD assessment provide learning opportunities for other #MDBs, but EBRD's transformational success has not come without its challenges. MOPAN's Erika Maclaughlin led the assessment and explains critical lessons learned. 🎥

As we recognise the #UNday of Non-violence, we emphasize the importance of protecting from sexual exploitation and harassment, a topic that is at the heart of our assessment work. Read the synthesis report here https://bit.ly/4gKRTTI #PSEA

Our report finds that EBRD is leaner, more agile, and more efficient after implementing transformational changes while keeping its budget flat, but it hasn't come without its challenges. As its mandate expands, bringing with it new risks, it will need better demonstrate transition results.
