Development Bank Investments: A Guide for Education and Health Activists in India

This document arises from the efforts to influence the WB and ADB on education and health issues by Oxfam India during 2020-2022. As such, it uses some of the experience gained in analysing the support by IFIs to India during this period and tracking the IFC investments in education and health. The exercise revealed the need for activists to better understand IFI operations in the country, prompting the development of this document.

This manual is aimed at the following target users:

• Activists seeking to understand IFIs working on education and health in India.
• Organizations and leaders doing lobbying and advocacy on IFI operations in India with a focus on education and health.

This manual is accompanied by an outline for a one-day training workshop and a set of PowerPoint slides that can be used by interested activists to share this learning widely. We hope that this guide proves useful.
