This panel initiated critical dialogue on the current Private Sector Instrument (PSI) agreement one year after it came into force. The intention is to foster a greater understanding about how PSIs work and everything CSOs need to know to engage with them in their work.
Building on Eurodad’s report on the PSI agreement titled “Aid under threat: The shadowy business of private sector instruments,” the panel addressed key questions about what the agreement means for the integrity of ODA and development finance in practice, the drivers, risks and opportunities, with a focus on the experience with PSIs in Norway and exploring alternatives.
