Initial efforts concentrated on the development of methodologies and tools to assess and manage the alignment of directly funded projects and activities. More recently, institutions and experts have started to develop approaches to assess the alignment of intermediated operations, which represent a significant share of development finance institutions operations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For example, the group of MDBs released a joint alignment framework for intermediated finance at COP26 focused on the transformation of partner financial intermediaries with a dual focus on:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cwho\u201d by developing credible institutional alignment pathways in line with leading market and regulatory practice.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cwhat\u201d by ensuring sub-transactions are consistent with Paris mitigation and adaptation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eib.org\/attachments\/events\/cop26-joint-mdb-paris-alignment-update-presentation-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">goals<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, most financial institutions in developing countries have not yet started to integrate climate considerations and are not familiar with the concept of \u201calignment\u201d.
