The support of donor partners is vital to help IFC fulfill its mission of increasing private sector participation in infrastructure and improving access to public services, including health and education. The support of donors leverages IFC’s own contributions and enhances the impact of its operations. Below are some of the key infrastructure donors:

DEVCO DevCo is a multi-donor facility that helps the world’s poorest countries improve basic public services such as power, water and sanitation, transportation, and telecommunications, among others. DevCo was established by IFC and the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID) to support IFC’s work to increase private sector participation in infrastructure. In addition to DFID, other donors include the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Austrian Development Agency (ADA), and Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). Since its inception in October 2004, DevCo has worked hand-in-hand with IFC to support over a dozen successful projects. Among the most recent: the development of the Ashta Hydopower plant, a major new power facility that will lower Albania’s dependence on energy imports; the privatization of Albania’s national electricity distribution company, which will help improve power supply throughout the country; the negotiation of a power supply agreement for the Small Power Utilities Group, which will benefit more than 300,000 people in the Philippines; and the privatization of Telkom Kenya, which will provide landline phone services to hundreds of thousands of Kenyans. DevCo-supported projects are expected to generate $10 billion in private sector investments, yield almost $2 billion in benefits for client governments, and significantly improve public services for more than 1.7 million people. DevCo is currently supporting 11 advisory mandates: Haiti - Telecom India V-K Coastal Road Indonesia - Central Java IPP Liberia - Monrovia Power Philippines - Manila Light Rail Transit Philippines - Off-grid power (SPUG) Samoa - Air Vanuatu Uganda - Rural Water Small-Scale Initiative Vietnam - Nghi Son 2 BOT Power Project Yemen - IPP Zambia - Kafue Gorge Lower Hydropower IPP

Regional Multi-Donor Facilities These are multi-donor funded initiatives that leverage IFC and partner resources to support private sector development in specific regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East & North Africa, Latin America & the Caribbean, South Asia and Southeast Europe. Partners include governments, regional development institutions, and private companies.

PIDG The Private Infrastructure Development Group is an innovative multi-donor organization constituted in 2002. Its objective is to encourage private infrastructure investment in developing countries that contributes to economic growth and poverty reduction.

PPIAF The Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility is a multidonor technical assistance facility created to help governments in developing countries to improve the quality of physical infrastructure through partnerships with the private sector. PPIAF helps governments to create policy, legal, and regulatory measures as well as capacity building to strengthen their ability to design, manage, and regulate reform programs.Capacity building and training is also provided for policy makers, regulators, and civil society groups.

GPOBA The Global Partnership for Output-Based Aid's mandate is to fund, design, demonstrate, and document output-based aid approaches to improve delivery of basic infrastructure and social services to the poor in developing countries. It encourages the use of explicit performance-based subsidies to support the delivery of basic services, such as water and health care, where policy concerns would justify public funding to complement or replace user-fees.
