Blended Finance in Fragile Settings

Fragile countries present some of the most challenging environments for private capital to invest in. Blended finance offers a structured approach that can help mitigate these risks and attract private capital into sectors critical for the development and stability of these countries.

This session will feature two Convergence members, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and KIVA, who have successfully deployed blended finance structures in fragile contexts to enable impactful investments in areas such as essential infrastructure and refugee services. These organizations will share their experiences structuring and executing transactions, including how they approached risk, ensured conflict-sensitivity, and engaged local stakeholders.

The session will begin with a short presentation of Convergence’s latest data brief on blended finance in fragile and conflict-affected states, followed by a case study presentation from each speaker organization. Participants will gain insights into practical structuring strategies, key challenges and solutions, and real-world examples from fragile and conflict-affected regions.
