IFC’s advisory work is organized into four business lines:
 | | |
 | | Access to Finance
IFC helps to increase the availability and affordability of financial services, particularly to micro, small, and medium enterprise clients. Our priorities are to build bank and non-bank financial institutions; develop financial infrastructure; and improve the legal and regulatory framework. |
| | |
| | |
 | | Investment Climate
IFC helps governments implement reforms to improve their business environment and encourage and retain investment, thus fostering competitive markets, growth, and job creation. |
| | |
| | |
 | | Sustainable Business
IFC supports the development of markets that are inclusive, sustainable and efficient. Building on IFC’s environmental and social performance standards, we promote sustainable business practices in such sectors as agribusiness, infrastructure, oil, gas, and mining, and manufacturing and services. Our programs promote good corporate governance practices, build the capacity of small firms and small-scale farmers, advance women entrepreneurs, and engage the private sector in climate-change solutions. |
| | |
| | |
 | | Public-Private Partnerships
IFC advises governments on structuring public-private partnership transactions in infrastructure and other public services. Our advice helps governments achieve long-term economic growth and better living standards by harnessing the potential of the private sector to increase access, enhance quality, and improve the efficiency of public services, such as electricity, water, health, and education. |
