Chapters are devoted to global contexts for development finance (including the Sustainable Development Goals framework); development financial planning in country-specific settings; domestic resource mobilization for economic development; external sources of finance including aid, foreign direct investment, remittances and illicit financial flows; innovative methods in development finance such as socially-responsible investment and faith-based finance; and mechanisms for blending public and private funding sources to support and sustain large infrastructure. The evolving area of climate finance, disaster risk reduction schemes, the role of FinTech in financial development, and rural credit markets are also discussed. The handbook also offers tools for the measurement of development finance impact on variables such as financial inclusion, sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction.
