Working together to implement the Sustainable Development Goals

Our purpose

The four pillars

Working Groups
IDFC members join efforts towards sustainable finance and to that end focuses on 5 work streams: SDGs Alignment, Cooperation for Development, Climate Finance, Biodiversity and Gender Equality
Role of PDBs
IDFC aims to position PDBs at the heart of financial reform discussions. PDBs excel in mobilizing finance, structuring plans, monitoring resources, and measuring impact, influencing markets and maximizing investments.
Improving capital
IDFC promotes new lending schemes by developing financial instruments that support PDBs´ appetite for raising liquidity, reducing risk, and reducing the cost of funding.
IDFC Facility
Supports IDFC members in enhancing sustainable finance and aligning with the Paris Agreement, Biodiversity Framework, and Agenda 2030 through knowledge exchange and capacity development on sustainability.
Who we are

The International Development Finance Club (IDFC) Members, working together to implement the Sustainable Development Goals & the Paris Climate Agreement agendas, join forces as a platform to promote & leverage Sustainable Development Investment worldwide.
