Lo que vino antes

WHAT CAME BEFORE

The Joint SDG Fund is an innovative mechanism of the United Nations, established to address the challenges of our time, which builds on previous efforts including the Millennium Development Goals Fund (MDG-F) and Sustainable Development Goals Fund (SDG-F) preceded us. 

These were generously supported by the Government of Spain and informed the organization and functioning of the current Joint SDG Fund.
