Together, we unlock capital for sustainable development.
Partnerships that Mobilize Private Capital
MIGA partners across the development finance and insurance ecosystems to expand access to guarantees and risk solutions where investment is needed most. Working alongside DFIs and MDBs, donor governments, and multilateral partners, we share risk more effectively, extend our reach into frontier markets, and help private capital go where it otherwise wouldn't.
Our Partnerships function builds and sustains this ecosystem through co‑insurance and risk‑sharing arrangements, capital-sharing mechanisms, trust fund facilities, host government platforms, and global institutional engagement. Together, these relationships multiply MIGA's impact far beyond what any single guarantee can achieve.
Partnership is how we turn ambition into action. By working closely with public and private sector partners, MIGA uses political risk insurance to share risk more effectively, mobilize private capital, and enable investments that deliver real development impact where it matters most.”
HOW WE PARTNER
We work with different partners in distinct ways, each reflecting a different dimension of what it takes to mobilize private capital in emerging markets.
We co‑guarantee and co‑structure projects with development finance institutions and multilateral development banks. By sharing risk, aligning standards, and applying MIGA’s political risk expertise, we support complex transactions that require coordinated institutional capacity.
MIGA administers trust funds and concessional facilities funded by donor governments and partners that extend guarantee coverage into higher-risk markets and priority development areas where commercial terms alone are insufficient. These facilities allow MIGA to operate where markets alone cannot.
We work with governments in multiple capacities — as donors to MIGA-administered trust fund facilities that extend guarantee coverage to frontier markets, as host governments seeking to attract and sustain private investment, and as partners in building the institutional capacity needed to support cross-border investment effectively.
From our engagement with the UN and COP processes to the FT–World Bank Group MIGA Africa Sustainable Futures Awards, we partner with international and industry bodies to shape the global development and sustainability agenda. Through these platforms, we contribute to the norms, convenings and recognition frameworks that influence private investment at scale.
