UNCDF

About Us

As a hybrid development and finance organization with a unique capital mandate, the UN Capital Development Fund is positioned to act as a catalyst in high-risk markets, particularly in Least Developed Countries, Small Island Developing States, and fragile/conflict-affected countries.

These environments often face significant barriers to attracting private and public capital, hampering the pace and scale of progress to achieving meaningful development outcomes.

UNCDF stands out as the only non-credit-rated UN entity with the capacity to deploy blended finance solutions, de-risk investment and unlock private and public capital at the last mile.
