6% Reaches LDCs. We Have to Change This.

"The global financial system is designed to avoid risk. But early-stage risk is precisely where development impact is the highest." UNCDF Executive Secretary Pradeep Kurukulasuriya presents the Strategic Framework 2026–2029, explaining why UNCDF operates at the frontier where development will be won or lost. 📊 The evidence is stark: Less than 6% of $1.4T flowing through MDBs reaches LDCs. Only 4% of global assets under management reach the developing world. 💡 Left to its own logic, finance will just wait. UNCDF doesn't wait—it deploys catalytic capital to de-risk investments and crowd in finance where it matters most. #uncdf #unitednations #finance #globaldevelopment #shorts © UN Capital Development Fund 2025.
