Modernizing Models of Assistance | The Futures Summit

The global development landscape sits at a critical inflection point as traditional models of assistance face fiscal pressure and geopolitical fragmentation. In response, we have seen a push to reform the development financing architecture toward a coordinated approach that prioritizes private capital mobilization and deeper coordination among multilateral development banks. This conversation focused on how the EBRD is leveraging its 2026 – 2030 Strategic and Capital Framework and its private sector focused business model to catalyze systemic market reforms, mobilize financing at scale, and expand its footprint into the Global South.  

The CSIS Futures Summit is made possible through generous support from Chevron Inc. (Founding sponsor), ADM, Cisco, and the Embassy of Denmark in Washington D.C.
