UNCDF, UNDP, and Qatar Fund for Development call for global partners to unlock finance for conflict-affected and fragile settings


 New financing solutions are needed for post-conflict recovery and reconstruction that can be delivered at a scale that meets today's challenges. Solutions were presented by the Qatar Fund for Development, the United Nations Capital Development Fund, and the United Nations Development Programme at a high-level event they co-hosted on the sidelines of the ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development Follow-Up (FfD Forum).

The event, held under the theme From Commitments to Capital, called for the deployment at scale of global financing in fragile, conflict, and crisis-affected settings, where capital remains scarce, and opportunities for decisive recovery are too often missed. 

“At the Qatar Fund for Development, we believe that responding to today’s realities requires rethinking how development finance is structured and delivered. Qatar Fund for Development is proud to co‑host this dialogue with UNCDF and UNDP, reflecting our common determination to help shape a more inclusive and responsive international financial architecture, one that works for fragile and high‑risk contexts, not despite them,” said Mr. Fahad Al-Sulaiti, Director General of Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD).
