Blended finance is a strategic approach that combines public and private resources to mobilize capital flows towards sustainable development goals, reducing investment risks and enhancing returns. It leverages concessional funds to attract private sector investment in projects that would otherwise be too risky or not viable, thereby addressing financing gaps in underserved sectors and regions.

They aim to create a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future for all by focusing on areas such as poverty, health, education, climate change, and economic growth.
