Notes

1  In many ways, MDBs and MFIs are very similar organizations, but MDBs are truly global, with a wide membership drawn from many countries providing a wide range of financial support and knowledge building. MFIs have a more limited membership and may have a narrower remit focused more on the financial support for specific types of projects.
