Better Finance Better World

This flagship report from the Blended Finance Taskforce presents a strategic roadmap for mobilizing private capital at scale to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It argues for a fundamental shift in the financial system, advocating for the strategic use of concessional development finance to de-risk and attract commercial investment into impactful projects. The report outlines actionable recommendations for creating enabling policy environments, developing pipelines of bankable projects, and establishing robust governance frameworks. It emphasizes the necessity of collaboration between public, private, and philanthropic actors to bridge the global financing gap.
