grant Background

About the Funding Agency

The UN Capital Development Fund makes public and private finance work for the poor in the world’s 47 least developed countries (LDCs).

With its capital mandate and instruments, UNCDF offers “last mile” finance models that unlock public and private resources, especially at the domestic level, to reduce poverty and support local economic development.

UNCDF’s financing models work through two channels: financial inclusion that expands the opportunities for indivi duals, households, and small businesses to participate in the local economy, providing them with the tools they need to climb out of poverty and manage their financial lives; and localized investments that show how fiscal decentralization, innovative municipal finance, and structured project finance can drive public and private funding that underpins local economic expansion and sustainable development.

Locations

Zambia

Zambia’s development strategy emphasises transport corridors, power generation and mining-linked infrastructure to support economic diversification and regional trade. Investments in hydropower, road upgrades and cross-border rail links aim to strengthen Zambia’s role as a Southern African logistics node. Following recent debt restructuring efforts, maintaining fiscal discipline and improving public investment governance are key to sustaining infrastructure expansion and enhancing private sector confidence.
