Abstract
Matching grants are an instrument aimed
at promoting private sector development that have been used
extensively over the past years, in particular for
agriculture development. this paper focuses on three
specific issues: (1) What is the rationale for using
matching grants in agriculture and why does the financial
sector matter? (2) What has been the specific experience
with WBG matching grants for agriculture and what are the
key drivers of success? (3) What are the various models of
linkages with financial institutions and how can matching
grants be used to promote financial inclusion? Based on this
analysis, this paper suggests emerging good practice on when
to use matching grants for agriculture, and how to design
them in a way that promotes sustainable impact and linkages
with the financial sector.
