DefinitionBlended finance is the strategic use of development finance for the mobilisation of additional finance towards sustainable development in developing countries. |
Blended finance attracts commercial capital towards projects that contribute to sustainable development, while providing financial returns to investors. This innovative approach helps enlarge the total amount of resources available to developing countries, complementing their own investments and ODA inflows to fill their SDG financing gap, and support the implementation of the Paris Agreement. |
The DAC Blended Finance Principles (pdf) and accompanying Guidance provide a common policy framework for all actors.
