Why DFIs Can't Reach Fragile Markets
"Development finance institutions can't always operate effectively in fragile markets. Their risk frameworks don't easily align with local realities."
That's the gap Investing for Peace fills. By combining blended finance and impact investing, I4P supports small businesses that contribute to peace and stability in fragile and conflict-affected settings.
If we want peace to last, we need:
✅ Strong economic growth
✅ Deepening of the financial sector
✅ A vibrant private sector
This is why UNCDF operates where traditional DFIs can't; deploying catalytic capital that makes fragile markets investable.
