The Sustainable Finance Hub collaborates with partners and networks that champion the systemic reforms and brings an SDG financing focus to the partnerships with International and Development Finance Institutions, business leaders, faith-based finance partners, and other private sector partners. UNDP builds consensus for improved governance of financing, and also strengthens the work on SDG financing with the UN system, including UNDESA, UNICEF, UN Women and UNCDF
At the national level, the Sustainable Finance Hub supports UNDP Country Offices in aligning public as well as private finance with the SDGs. Working with UNDP Regional Bureaus, the Sustainable Finance Hub promotes knowledge and technical/technology exchanges between countries through South-South partnerships, and works to generate stronger regional integration on key financing-related topics.
Enhance South-South Cooperation Toward Achievement of SDGs.
21 UN entities and members of the UN Interagency Mechanism on South-South and Triangular Cooperation contributed, along with 73 other stakeholders from both the Global South and North. Under the new Framework, UNOSSC will perform five services, each with key measurable indicators:
Intergovernmental processes facilitation and reporting;
Capacity development;
Knowledge management and sharing;
South-South and triangular cooperation solution lab
Trust Fund management.
These services will support the achievement of three cross-cutting, impact-oriented and coherent outcomes:
Outcome 1: Policies to advance South-South and triangular cooperation are strengthened through effective, evidence-based support to intergovernmental processes, multi-stakeholder dialogues and reporting.
Outcome 2: The capacity of United Nations entities to respond to requests by developing countries to address specific development challenges in implementing the 2030 Agenda through South-South and triangular cooperation is strengthened.
Outcome 3: Developing countries are enabled to implement the 2030 Agenda through harnessing South-South and triangular cooperation knowledge exchange, capacity-building, and facilitation of technology development and transfer.
To ensure efficient delivery of these services, the Office will also further enhance its strategic communications and partnerships, as well as its results-based management efforts.
