Our Mission
Advancing measurable progress in developing countries towards the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) by mobilizing new capital through innovative finance solutions and collaboration between public and private partners.
Our goal is to unlock up to CHF 1 billion in capital towards the SDGs by 2030.
Why SDG Impact >>> Finance >> Initiative >
Every year, funding for the UN SDGs falls short by c. USD 4 trillion. Addressing this gap demands that we bring together different actors, different sources of capital, different perspectives.
Private capital has an important role to play in this. But the private sector is not investing at the scale needed for reasons that include availability of products, perceptions of risk, and small deal sizes. This is particularly true when it comes to solutions focused on historically more difficult to fund SDGs and geographies.
This is where public and philanthropic capital come in. This more-risk tolerant capital can act as a bridge to test and improve innovative financing approaches and help catalyze investment before new solutions become commercial. Furthermore, through support of framework conditions, including policy, tax, regulation, and impact standards, this capital also plays a role in stimulating a thriving ecosystem for impact investing. Ultimately driving innovation and investment to help close the SDG funding gap.
