Who is involved in the INFF Facility?
The Facility is built on the strengths and capacities of its core and strategic partners. It leverages UNDP’s role leading technical support to INFFs at the country level, DESA’s leadership of the INFF methodology, UNICEF’s support to social sectors and key aspects of public financial management (PFM), and the OECD’s experience with transition finance and engagement of development partners through the Development Assistance Committee. Core partners work closely with the European Union and the Governments of Italy, Spain and Sweden as strategic partners to the work of the INFF Facility.
Mobilizing investments towards a greener, more sustainable future is a team effort. Through our partners, the INFF Facility offers a wide range of technical expertise to support the development and delivery of INFFs. Over time, the Facility will welcome new partnerships and engagement in various mechanisms.
