UNCDF’s financing models work through three channels:
1)
Local development finance, which capacitates localities through fiscal
decentralization, innovative municipal finance, and structured project
finance to drive local productive capacity for sustainable development,
2) Inclusive digital economies connect individuals, households, and
small businesses with financial eco-systems that catalyze participation
in the local economy and provide tools to climb out of poverty and
manage financial lives, and 3) Investment finance, which provides
innovative financial structuring, de-risking, and capital deployment to
drive SDG impact and domestic resource mobilization.
