About AIIB 

 

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank whose mission is financing the Infrastructure for Tomorrow—infrastructure with sustainability at its core. We began operations in Beijing in January 2016 and have since grown to 109 approved members worldwide. We are capitalized at USD100 billion and AAA rated by the major international credit rating agencies. Collaborating with partners, AIIB meets clients’ needs by unlocking new capital and investing in infrastructure that is green, technology-enabled and promotes regional connectivity.

Under its independent Evaluation and Learning function, CEIU undertakes evaluative assessments of AIIB’s ordinary and special operations in accordance with the Learning and Evaluation Policy (LEP). One of CEIU’s primary responsibilities is to strengthen institutional performance, credibility, internal and external accountability, and learning by selectively assessing the quality and results of the AIIB’s ongoing and completed investment projects, operational policies, strategies, and procedures.
