01In brief

The short answer.

The Development Finance Nexus regions page maps its work on development finance across the six Consortium regions: Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Eurasia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, and North America. A regional entry appears only where a programme record supports it, with its status.

02Canvas

Scoping to review.

Regional exposures: the policy cycleA problem reaches the agenda, options are formulated and appraised, consultation tests them, the mandate holder decides, implementation and monitoring follow, and evaluation feeds the next agenda. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

    Financing gaps and evidence

    Evidence before institutional decisions.

05Regional view

Where adaptation finance needs and hazards meet.

Exposure to hazard and limited fiscal space coincide most in small island states, the Sahel and South Asia's river deltas. The siting figure overlays hypothetical projects on hazard and poverty to show which financing layer would protect them. Evidence at GCRI island resilience and GCRI shared river basins.

Regional differences matter for Development Finance Nexus because World Bank and IFC standards are adopted at different speeds, and hazards and market structure differ. A regional entry would cite project footprints, hazard over design life and poverty grids.
