U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) is America’s development bank. DFC partners with the private sector to finance solutions to the most critical challenges facing the developing world today.

Who We Are - DFC

Where We Work

ODP works to ensure projects produce positive developmental impacts, apply best practices with respect to environmental and social safeguards, and respect human rights, including worker rights.

Who We Are - ODP

ODP Responsibilities Development Impact & U.S. Economic Impact Social Risk Assessment Environmental Risk Assessment Technical Development

Monitoring & Evaluation DFC evaluates every project using its performance measurement tool, Impact Quotient (IQ) to measure, monitor, and evaluate its developmental impact around the world across three main areas: Growth, Innovation and Inclusion.

DFC evaluates every project to ensure there are no negative impact on the U.S. economy or employment

DFC annually monitors projects in its portfolio through self reporting by clients via the Development Outcome Survey and conducts in-depth on site evaluations for both risk and developmental impact.

DFC’s Social Risk Assessment considers potential and existing DFC projects in order to identify and require commensurate mitigation and management measures for negative impacts to a project’s workforce and affected groups or people.

DFC’s Environmental Risk Assessment considers potential and existing impacts of DFC projects in order to identify and mitigate any significant adverse impacts on the environment.

Feasibility studies and technical assistance accelerate project identification and preparation to better attract and support private investment in development outcomes, or improve the developmental impact or commercial sustainability of existing DFC activities.

Policy Clearance Process

1. Screen: Review the project and identify any environmental and social risk as well as provide preliminary IQ Score

2. Application: Project sponsor submits Form 007 to ODP along with Project Documents.

3. Review: An analyst from ENV, SOC and ECON is assigned to the project and analysts review and asses documentation to identify gaps and determine what additional information is required for the IQ Score analysis and clearance.

4. Due Diligence: Analysts send questions to the clients and the deal teams and due diligence site visits are performed as applicable.

5. Clearance: Analysts draft clearances based on research, responses from clients incorporating any development objectives, mitigation measures or loan conditions as well as the final IQ score and analysis.

6. Document: Projects are “Cleared” and ODP reviews final conditions incorporated in finance and insurance agreements and consents for accuracy.

7. Monitor: ODP reviews reports required under contracts as well as reviews the annual Development Outcome Survey (Form 008) submitted annually by clients.

8. Evaluate: ODP conducts on-site visits to projects to check for compliance as well as to understand the development impacts of a project for lessons learned.

Environmental and Social Policy

DFC’s Environmental and Social Policy and Procedures (ESPP) was adapted from OPIC’s Environmental and Social Policy Statement (ESPS) without material changes.

OPIC’s ESPS was most recently revised in January 2017 and implements environmental and social requirements and procedures contained in U.S. law, the IFC Performance Standards on Social and Environmental Sustainability, and the World Bank Group’s Industry Sector Guidelines.

Every project is reviewed against DFC’s ESPP.
