UN Capital Development Fund 143d ago

The UN General Assembly created the Capital Development Fund with a singular purpose: to unlock finance where risks are high and capital is scarce, first and foremost in Least Developed Countries. The financing gap isn't just a number. It's a mother walking hours for clean water. A small business that can't grow because no bank will lend. Someone must lend a hand and the capital to go with it. This is where UNCDF steps in. First and fast. As a non-credit rated UN entity, we absorb the risk others cannot. We go where nobody else does. We show what's possible at the frontiers. We build the scaffolding so larger capital flows can follow. From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. We've reached millions of people. Helped create thousands of jobs. Catalysed hundreds of millions in additional investment. Proven that early-stage and last-mile markets are investable. The challenges are immense. But so is the opportunity.
