Introduction
Measuring the impact of ICIEC’s footprint on development in member countries is extremely important to determine the level of success in aligning with our vision. ICIEC has made a commitment to document and assess the impact of our activities to promote transparency with beneficiaries – the citizens of Member States.
ICIEC’s development role is to provide support and facilitate development agendas within our member countries, with the ultimate goal of facilitating trade and meeting their chosen objectives. ICIEC works to fulfill this role by offering insurance solutions to mitigate foreign direct investment and trade-related political and commercial risks and protect businesses from the negative impacts these risks can pose.

Partnerships and collaborations establishedICIEC and the SDG’s
ICIEC’s pursuit of the SDGs is threefold
01
As part of IsDBG it contributes to the Bank’s -10year strategy, which is in turn aligned to the SDGs.
02
ICIEC’s mandate is to support the sustainable economic development of its Member States through risk mitigation solutions and thereby supports the Member States advancements with view to the Goals.
03
The corporation acts as a catalyst for private sector capital to be mobilized and directed towards the achievement of the SDGs.
The Sustainable Development Goals encompass social, economic and environmental dimensions of development and have become signposts for ICIEC’s continuing development journey. The SDGs play an important role in shaping ICIEC’s strategy and the development outcomes ICIEC seeks to achieve going forward. Though many ICIEC projects address an array of the SDGs, ICIEC’s developmental role and contribution in Member States is most relevant to 8 of the 17 goals.

Impact Framework
ICIEC’s development impact contribution is derived from a conceptual road map called Theory of Change, which links ICIEC services to intended outcomes in the export and financial sectors and the indirect implications across member countries more broadly. ICIEC’s Development Effectiveness Framework is underpinned by a Monitoring and Evaluation system that takes ICIEC’s role as an insurer (versus a financier) into consideration.
ICIEC’s development impact is focused on the investments and trade transactions we facilitate and how they affect the lives of member state citizens. Though many projects overlap across the board, we measure our development impact through four main areas:
