Providing advice is a critical part of IFC’s strategy to create markets—an effort coordinated with governments and the World Bank. Through our advisory programs, we work with clients—including companies, financial institutions, industries, and governments—to transform ideas into bankable projects. We help establish the necessary conditions that will attract capital, enabling the private sector to grow.
