In partnership with public and private stakeholders, UNDP Country Offices across the globe carry out facilitation activities with the objective of fostering matchmaking and collaboration to realise SDG-aligned investments for through these approaches:
- SDG Impact Investor Convenings: events, hosted by UNDP Country Offices, that bring together investors and enterprises interested in the SDGs to mobilize private capital for the priority sectors and investment opportunities identified in the SDG Investor Maps.
