Energizing Finance: Missing the Mark 2020

The 'Energizing Finance: Missing the Mark 2020' report analyzes the gap between financial commitments and actual disbursements for energy projects in 20 high-impact countries (HICs) across Africa and Asia, utilizing the OECD Creditor Reporting System (CRS) database.

• Energy finance disbursements in high-impact countries (HICs) grew significantly faster than general development finance disbursements between 2013 and 2018, with energy project disbursements increasing by over 61 percent compared to a 12 percent increase for overall development finance.
• To achieve Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) energy access targets, there is an urgent requirement for increased disbursements of approximately USD 45 billion annually from 2020 to 2030.
• The report identifies several trends and drivers regarding disbursement efficiency: disbursements for energy continue to lag behind commitments, though average disbursement delays have decreased since 2002. Efficiency is heavily influenced by project-specific factors, including coordination among actors and the consideration of limited local financial services.
