The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technic

​MIGA is a member of the World Bank Group. Our mission is to promote foreign direct investment (FDI) intodeveloping countries to help support economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve people's lives...


Our strategy​



At the center of MIGA’s new FY18-20 strategy are three elements:


  • A re-affirmed focus on the poorest through support for projects in IDA countries
  • A continuing emphasis on Fragile and Conflict-affected States, where MIGA has opportunity to have impact where private PRI insurers are unwilling to go, and
  • An expanded commitment to climate change mitigation and adaptation, targeting 28% of new issuance related to climate change mitigation or adaptation in 2020.


    Understanding that MIGA’s impact is correlated with the size of its issuance growth, MIGA aims to continue its ambitious trajectory of expansion, targeting issuance growth of 40% between FY16 and FY20. If achieved, MIGA’s FY20 issuance would be four-fold what it was ten years prior and more than double what it was in FY13, despite more than five consecutive years of declining emerging market FDI flows. 


    To deliver on these targets, MIGA’s FY18-20 strategy has four pillars:

  • Grow core business: MIGA will enable new investments across sectors and regions through building on past efforts to improve operations and delivery in current segments
  • Innovate applications: MIGA will continue to create new ways of using its suite of products to create impact, especially through the use of new vehicles, including the IDA 18 Private Sector Window
  • Create projects for impact: MIGA will develop, structure and launch new projects by playing a proactive role early in the pipeline through working with governments, state-owned enterprises, and investors
  • Create markets: MIGA will drive comprehensive country solutions and spur private sector investment and development by working as part of the WBG’s Cascade Approach

As a multilateral development agency, MIGA only supports investments that are developmentally sound and meet high social and environmental standards. MIGA applies a comprehensive set of social and environmental performance standards to all projects and offers extensive expertise in working with investors to ensure compliance to these standards.

Development and Climate Change

Reports & Research
Training Resources & Tools
Décembre, 2008

This strategic framework serves to guide and support the operational response of the World Bank Group (WBG) to new development challenges posed by global climate change. Unabated, climate change threatens to reverse hard-earned development gains. The poorest countries and communities will suffer the earliest and the most. Yet they depend on actions by other nations, developed and developing. While climate change is an added cost and risk to development, a well-designed and implemented global climate policy can also bring new economic opportunities to developing countries.
