| Summary: | As International Finance Corporation
(IFC) continues to further scale up its operations, seeking
to deliver more development impact, could it be in danger of
inadvertently becoming an increasingly slower and
higher-cost delivery mechanism, and thus a less relevant
change agent? This smart lesson, growing out of the
author's observations during 32 years with IFC,
proposes an alternative business delivery model with
particular relevance to fragile states and frontier regions
in middle income countries, in hopes of sparking a lively
and productive debate around how IFC defines, delivers and
measures success in its poverty reduction effort. |
