Why do some Development Projects Disburse Funds Faster than Others

“…The pressing situation also requires that new loans approved by the IDB be disbursed faster but without compromising the achievement of their development objectives. 2 On average, 424 days pass from the approval of a project until its first disbursement, and it takes 5.6 years to reach 80% disbursement, Lagarda et al (2018) report. Slow disbursement can affect the ability of the Bank to support countries, especially at this critical juncture.…”
