Davos 360 Discussion: Accelerating SDG Finance through Collaboration
It is well known that one of the largest challenges to implementation of the SDGs is adequate financing.
The UN estimates some $5-7 trillion will need to be mobilized each year to achieve the goals, and this cannot be met by aid alone. Private finance has the potential to fill the funding gap but this will require enhanced understanding and collaboration between development and finance institutions.

Guiding Questions
- How can we "translate" between the development and finance communities so that they can collaboratively build vehicles that drive both impact and profit?
- What new finance approaches and vehicles (blended finance, outcome funding, etc.) can be implemented to create impact, particularly in developing countries?
- How do we measure holistic impact beyond simply monetary performance/profit?
