Recommendation 10

10 Paragraph: 56

BII investments in middle-income countries are poorly targeted, risking lost development focus.

Conclusion
Some of BII’s investments in middle-income countries have been poorly targeted and do not appear to be reaching the poorest and most marginalised people. In some cases, BII investments have tenuous links to development impact. By concentrating its investments in middle-income countries, there is a risk that BII will lose its development focus and prioritise financial returns.
