Investment thesis

UNCDF aims to catalyse and mobilize increased capital flows toward impactful investments in high-risk, frontier and last-mile markets, with particular focus on Least Developed Countries, Small Island Developing States and countries in special situations. It uses risk-absorbing financial instruments, mechanisms and structuring advisory to derisk investments and pave the way for commercial finance and scale-up by development finance institutions and multilateral development banks. Working in partnership with UN entities and development partners, UNCDF delivers scalable blended finance solutions intended to close financing gaps, build investable markets, and support job creation, sustained economic growth and equitable prosperity.
