How we work
-
Strengthening macroeconomic stability
Supporting policy-makers, national governments and other stakeholders to make informed decisions on quality investments and strengthening institutions, while championing mechanisms to more effectively manage debt and avoid debt distress.
-
Efficient and equitable public services
Bringing together different communities and knowledge to improve understanding of appropriate public finance to support service delivery, and supporting policy-makers in the design and implementation of public finance policies.
-
Building more capable bureaucracies
Promoting sound public financial management, supporting countries’ finance ministries and reflecting on ODI’s own technical advisory work.
-
More effective tax systems
Understanding the ways in which governments can mobilise domestic resources in more sustainable and equitable ways, exploring the linkages between taxation and inclusive growth, and supporting the creation of evidence-based, inclusive tax policy-making processes.
-
Using public funds to mobilise private capital
Understanding the potential and limitations of blended finance, and supporting the development of more effective blended finance approaches, while also assessing the role and development of national development banks.
-
Making international public finance more effective
Building understanding of how to maximise the impact of international public finance and to reform its architecture
