Currently, donor support plays a vital role in carrying out the activities of IIFC. It is supported by two consortia of consultants for carrying out the development of investment and non-investment projects, business development work, promotional activities and capacity-building. DFID and CIDA have appointed two consulting firms to provide consultants to IIFC and give funding support for the consultants. IIFC has call-down arrangements with the consulting firms for rapid mobilization of consultants from the proposed date of engagement by a ministry or government agency. In addition to funding support from CIDA and DFID, IIFC also received financial resources from IDA to hire consultants and meet the establishment costs of IIFC. The Government has also committed itself to providing financial resources towards IIFC's establishment costs.
