Historique

UNDP’s programme of work in the area of development finance focuses on research, advocacy and active engagement in international debates, as well as on country level support.

UNDP works to influence the international agenda on thematic areas such as international public finance, aid effectiveness, innovative sources of development finance, sovereign debt, private finance and the ‘enabling global environment’ for sustainable development.

UNDP also provides practical policy support to developing countries. For example, we support countries to access climate finance and other sources of environmental finance, as well as support their efforts to use those resources effectively.

On post-2015, UNDP carries out research, policy advice and global advocacy on financing options for the new development framework and in so doing, support the work of the larger in-house team on post-2015, as well as the work of the broader UN system in this arena. UNDP is actively contributing to the preparatory process for the forthcoming conference on financing for development which will take place in Addis Ababa in July 2015. UNDP is seeking to build its capacity on development finance in the run up to the conference in order to contribute to a good outcome for this important event.
