The Joint SDG Fund supports countries accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to deliver on the commitment of the 2030Agenda to leave no one behind. The transformative nature of the 2030 Agenda hinges on all segments of society urgently coming together to launch sustainable and inclusive growth trajectories within a short period of time. To transform our world we need integrated economic, social and environmental policies, informed by a rights based agenda, along with significant volumes of new financing. The Joint SDG Fund will incentivize countries to draw on cutting edge expertise and innovation from across the United Nations development system and a broad range of partners to strategically invest in SDG acceleration that is tailored to different country contexts.
