About us
UNCDF is the United Nations' flagship catalytic financing entity for the world’s 46 LDCs. With its unique capital mandate and focus on the LDCs, UNCDF works to invest and catalyze capital to support these countries in achieving the sustainable growth and inclusiveness envisioned by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Doha Programme of Action for the least developed countries, 2022–2031. UNCDF builds partnerships with other UN organizations, as well as private and public sector actors, to achieve greater impact in development, specifically by unlocking additional resources and strengthening financing mechanisms and systems contributing to transformation pathways, focusing on such development themes as green economy, digitalization, urbanization, inclusive economies, gender equality and women’s economic empowerment. A hybrid development finance institution and development agency, UNCDF uses a combination of capital instruments (deployment, financial & and business advisory and catalyzation) and development instruments (technical assistance, capacity development, policy advice, advocacy, thought leadership, and market analysis and scoping) which are applied across five priority areas (inclusive digital economies, local transformative finance, women’s economic empowerment, climate, energy & biodiversity finance, and sustainable food systems finance).

A l’occasion de la Semaine de l’Adaptation aux Changements Climatiques en Tunisie, L’UNCDF a partagé son expérience dans le financement de l’action climatique au niveau local lors d’un panel sur les enjeux et opportunités de l'adaptation aux changements climatiques dans le pays. Grace à l’appui financier de l’#UE, l’UNCDF et le Gouvernement de la #Tunisie travaillent ensemble pour l’établissement et consolidation d’un mécanisme de financement standard et reconnu globalement pour acheminer le financement climatique vers les collectivités locales et les rendre acteurs actifs dans l’atteinte des objectives nationaux en matière de #résilienceclimatiques et #développementdurable. Merci aux organisateurs #WWFNorthAfrica #FNACC pour l’invitation !

🟢 "The SDG financing gap continues to widen, threatening to leave behind those below the poverty line, further marginalizing last-mile contexts that most need our support: Least Developed Countries, Small Island nations and many other fragile settings." 🇺🇳 UNCDF can bridge this gap! #PovertyEradication

The upcoming COPs are key opportunities for global leaders to advance solutions that protect vulnerable ecosystems around the world, like coral reefs. I’m proud to highlight United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF)’s support for the Global Fund for Coral Reefs in driving innovative financing for nature. An example is the recent debt-for-nature swap in Indonesia—a landmark deal focused on coral reef conservation that underscores the importance of targeted financial mechanisms in bridging the funding gap for nature conservation. In partnership with the Governments of the United States and Indonesia, as well as GFCR implementing partners, this deal redirects US$35 million of Indonesia’s debt towards protecting critical reef ecosystems, including the Bird’s Head and Lesser Sunda-Banda Seascapes, home to 75% of all known coral species. Yet, we recognize that much more remains to be done. As we approach #COP16, UNCDF reaffirms its commitment to using blended finance to meet the goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3NuE9yW

Join us for a presentation of the Nature Investment Facility during the UN Biodiversity Conference #COP16 in Cali, #Colombia! The #GlobalBiodiversityFramework (GBF) calls on the public and private sector to work together to transform our relationship with nature and address the nature-related funding gap. We must turn the GBF into action and we can do that through the Nature Investment Facility. This COP 16 event will feature our founding partners UNESCO, UNDP, and United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) to present the Facility and highlight remarks by high-level representatives from the Facility’s programme countries, such as Burundi and Thailand. We will also hear from members of the private sector regarding their investments in nature, including partnerships for sustainability, and the positive impact of these initiatives on local ecosystems and communities. We invite you to join our interactive conversation and learn more how the Nature Investment Facility will leverage private investment to help advance the targets of the GBF. 📖 More information about the event: https://lnkd.in/ghkhruGZ ✔️ Event RSVP: https://lnkd.in/ghKWAWQu #COP16Colombia COP16 Colombia Julien Pellaux Camilla Nordheim-Larsen Livio Garuccio Onno van den Heuvel Maxim Vergeichik Eva Bortolotti Chuck Cooper Pierre Bardoux-Chesneau Kawtar Zerouali Guiller Lorenzo Cenizal Erica Fleet Penny Stock Josie Raine

🇿🇼 The Hamburg Sustainability Conference (#HSC24) is an opportunity for UNCDF to showcase its work in #LDCs like Zimbabwe. 🇺🇳 UNDP, UNCDF and partners have come together to create a vehicle that will bring investments to develop the renewable energy sector, effectively crowding in the private sector. ❇️ UNDP is bringing technical expertise, while UNCDF is providing a $8M loan, which will leverage $3M from the Zimbabwe Development Bank and bring in $39M from private investors.

At the Climate Mobility Summit, the Global Centre for Climate Mobility and the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) signed an agreement to work together to protect vulnerable communities from the effects of sea-level rise. This Memorandum of Understanding will lead to new innovative insurance products for climate change-impacted communities, and will be supported with knowledge and data from our partners at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
