Modernizing Models of Assistance | The Futures Summit

April 17, 2026 • 11:15 – 11:45 am EDT

Brought to you by

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 will focus 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 Futures Summit: A New Era of Development Cooperation

This panel discussion is part of CSIS's flagship development conference taking place over several days of in-person and virtual convening. From April 10-17, the CSIS Futures Summit will explore how best to navigate and advance this new era of cooperation, paying close attention to the shifts in global leadership, new models and partnerships, and what should come next.

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.
