Join us virtually on Thursday, September 3, 2026 at 9:00 AM Eastern Time for the launch of a new report. The webinar will cover trends, insights, and recommendations from our report, Technical Cooperation Approaches for Mobilizing Private Capital in Developing Countries.

With the development community facing a decline in official development assistance resources, understanding how technical cooperation can improve conditions for private investment in developing countries is critical. The imperative to do more with increasingly scarce concessional resources has never been greater.

Produced with the support of GIZ, the German agency for technical cooperation, the report explores Technical Assistance and Technical Cooperation approaches from the diverse perspectives of providers, recipients, and implementers. In addition to presenting highlights from the report, the webinar will feature a panel discussion elaborating on the findings and sharing examples of how technical cooperation programs can put these findings into practice, mobilizing private capital in ways that amplify development impact on the ground.
