POLICY ASSESSMENT

Using the Fair Finance Guide International Methodology, we assess and report on the finance and investment policies of Public Finance Institutions operating in Southern Africa and benchmark them against international sustainability standards.

These assessments cover themes of:

2024

“Financing Fairly 2024: Are Public Finance Institutions Financing a (Truly) Just Energy Transition in Southern Africa?”

In November 2024, Fair Finance Coalition Southern Africa launched the the findings of its third policy assessment on eight Public Finance Institutions across the nine different themes. The report focuses on whether the policies of these PFIs are geared towards facilitating an energy transition in the region that is truly just and sustainable.

2022

“Financing Fairly 2022: Are Public Finance Institutions in Southern Africa financing the Climate crisis?”

Members of the Fair Finance Coalition of Southern Africa are preparing to host a side event at COP27 on the 10th of November. At the side event, we will launch the findings of a second policy assessment report on six Public Finance Institutions in Africa, including the African Develoment Bank of Southern Africa. The policy assessment rates PFIs on transparency and accountability, climate response performance and new power generation.
