Background |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Within the context of SDG Financing, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has launched the Sustainable Finance Hub (SFH), which is a finance and innovation platform drawing on a critical mass of UNDP expertise, initiatives, and partnerships to support the mobilization and leveraging of resources for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and lead the implementation of the new UNDP private sector strategy. As part of UNDP’s SFH, development finance has a central role in supporting the UN member-countries, leveraging new sources of capital, offsetting high debt burdens, and innovating for long-term solutions to challenges around climate change, disaster resilience, fragile ecosystems. Istanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (IICPSD) was established in Istanbul, Turkey on the basis of the Partnership Framework Agreement signed between the Government of Turkey and the UNDP in 2011. IICPSD is mandated to leverage the role of the private sector in development and supports the UNDP’s Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) by leading UNDP’s strategic offer to partner and work with the private sector, advocating and facilitating its contribution to human development and inclusive growth. IICPSD’s work to engage foundations and the private sector focuses on delivering policy advisory and technical services in four thematic areas:
Under its impact investing thematic area, IICPSD and the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) established the Global Islamic Finance and Impact Investing Platform (GIFIIP) in 2016 to position Islamic finance and impact investing as worldwide leading enablers of SDG implementation. Bringing together the private sector, governments and key stakeholders operating in the Islamic finance and impact investing markets, GIFIIP aims to promote market-based solutions to sustainable development challenges by creating a collaborative working space among these actors. The Green Sukuk Initiative has been launched under GIFIIP recognizing that the principles of Islamic finance and impact investing, with their rigorous moral and social criteria, their emphasis on inclusiveness and broader understanding of business-society relations complement each other. Further, IICPSD initiated the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) project to establish an online training platform to build capacity on Islamic finance and its role in sustainable development, in partnership with the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) and Durham University Business School. IICPSD, also provides technical assistance on private sector led engagements including, but not limited to green sukuk, Islamic micro and SME financing, and Islamic credit guarantee fund mechanisms.
