Our guiding principal
Cooperation
GEMs is not only a data-driven cooperation among peer institutions but also offers a forum for discussion and exchange among experts. It is a concrete example of how MDBs and DFIs can work together as a system to collectively achieve more than they could do alone – improving risk management practices across the IFI industry by exchanging on methodology topics and pooling data.
Confidentiality
The GEMs cooperation is based on a strict confidentiality agreement. The consortium has jointly developed an anonymized data collection process and methodology which supports the protection data confidentiality and allows for the generation of output statistics on the consortium level.
Data Quality
The GEMs methodology and data process, developed over more than 10 years now, ensures data harmonisation and a high level of data quality. The complete GEMs historical dataset is submitted annually leading to updates to previous data and addition of new data. Thus, over time, data quality continuously improves.
