Launched at the UN Conference on Financing for Development in July 2015 in Addis Ababa, the Sustainable Development Investment Partnership (SDIP) is a global independent platform of 42 public, private and philanthropic institutions with the shared ambition to scale finance for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and overcome the barriers hindering private investments in emerging and developing countries. As a joint initiative of the World Economic Forum and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), SDIP’s mission is to address the systemic challenges to finance the SDGs by creating the conditions for capital to flow where it is needed the most.
Country Financing Roadmaps
Through a government-led multistakeholder coalition of public and private stakeholders, the platform will help countries design a holistic strategy and action plan to finance the SDGs, by integrating active initiatives at a country level responsible for the various stages of the investment value chain, harnessing collective intelligence and establishing one coordinated vision around the right mix of capital – private, public, domestic and foreign – to be mobilized for the 2030 Agenda.
SDIP Regional Hubs: Africa and ASEAN
SDIP established its Africa and ASEAN Hubs as platforms of public-private collaboration that address specific obstacles to unlock capital flows and scale investments at a regional level. Each Hub is governed by a regional Steering Group, to tailor the activities to the specific regional context and contribute to building local capacity.
Global Future Council on Development Finance
The World Economic Forum’s Network of Global Future Councils is the world’s foremost interdisciplinary knowledge network dedicated to promoting innovative thinking on the future. The Council on Development Finance convenes 23 preeminent leaders and experts to address the challenges of SDG financing.
Sustainable Markets Initiative
The initiative lead by HRH The Prince of Wales is a response to increasing investor and consumer demand for sustainability. Sustainable Markets are designed with the intent to ensure the economy operates in favour of people and planet while contributing to growth and prosperity. A Sustainable Market is, therefore, a profitable marketplace that generates long-term value through the balanced integration of natural, social and financial capital.

“For the last three years, Saint Lucia has been focused on trying to take control of our own destiny. One such way is our new partnership with the World Economic Forum to be the first country to implement the Country Financing Roadmaps. The platform harnesses the collective intelligence from the Forum’s expansive networks and promote consensus on the main challenges that limit capital flows to Saint Lucia. It will also leverage coordinated action to move from a holistic diagnostic to a country-specific tangible action plan.”
“I warmly welcome the ‘Country Financing Roadmap’ initiative. The Roadmap could provide a platform for coherence among the different financing options. The World Economic Forum’s ability to convene, leverage and help align the contributions of a wide range of stakeholders, particularly from the private sector, can play a critical role in advancing SDG financing.”
