Financing country platforms

This expert note from the World Resources Institute describes country platforms as mechanisms for governments to align diverse sources of finance behind national plans to achieve climate, nature, and development goals, while highlighting the institutional requirements for their success.

• Country platforms serve as a method for governments to coordinate public and private, national and international finance to support country-led policy reforms and plans aimed at development, nature, and climate goals. This approach is intended to replace fragmented, project-based, and top-down methods with a structured system capable of mobilizing finance at scale for transformational impact.
• The concept of country platforms has evolved since 2021 with the launch of Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs) in South Africa, Indonesia, Senegal, and Vietnam. Since then, other nations have adopted the model, expanding its scope to include new types of countries and investments focused on adaptation.
• Successful implementation of country platforms is complex and requires strategic coordination and institutional capacity among various stakeholders, including NGOs, community groups, private investors, policymakers, and development finance institutions. They necessitate a flexible approach to country contexts and the careful sequencing of funding flows, project pipeline development, and policy reform to avoid creating workloads and confusion that exceed the benefits.
