BFA’s success has been driven by a focus on inputs from stakeholders. While BFA has a strong working knowledge of numerous innovative financial models, the final design of each successful project reflects the unique circumstances and interest of project partners. 

Unlike equity funds or placement agents, BFA is driven by the desire to mobilize private capital at the lowest possible cost to ratepayers, households and government entities.

BFA believes that the primary purpose of blended finance is to make sustainable projects affordable. 

All blended finance programs were subject to an affordability assessment to reach optimal balance of public and privates sector funding in each program.

BFA design work starts with stakeholder consultations including donors, governments, private sector investors, and intended beneficiaries. This work requires constant dialogue and reconciliation of all party interests. Based on our financial transaction experience, BFA can take a project from conception to implementation in a highly efficient and timely manner.

Many blended finance programs in the U.S. have mobilized private sector funding through the issuance of bonds on Wall Street. BFA’s Wall Street experience brings in depth knowledge of how bonds can be effective financial vehicles for blended funds .
