Background
The UN Capital Development Fund makes public and
private finance work for the poor in the world’s 46 least developed
countries (LDCs). UNCDF offers “last mile” finance models that unlock
public and private resources, especially at the domestic level, to
reduce poverty and support local economic development.
UNCDF’s financing models work through three channels: (1) inclusive
digital economies, which connects individuals, households, and small
businesses with financial eco-systems that catalyze participation in the
local economy, and provide tools to climb out of poverty and manage
financial lives; (2) local development finance, which drives structural
transformation of localities through policy and regulatory reform,
fiscal decentralization, innovative municipal finance, and project
finance to unlock capital flows to the local level, combined local
economic expansion and sustainable development; and (3) investment
finance, which provides catalytic financial structuring, de-risking, and
capital deployment to drive SDG impact and domestic resource
mobilization.
The Local Finance Initiative (LFI) programme is
designed to unlock the flow of capital to invest small and medium-sized
infrastructure projects that are required to accelerate local economic
development and private sector development. It is a UNCDF front office
capacity that help to deliver local economic development in
collaboration with national institutions, local authorities, and SMEs in
developing countries.
