Co-convened by the Governments of Egypt and Spain, together with the United Nations Joint SDG Fund, this discussion will bring together Member States, international financial institutions, and private sector partners to explore how catalytic financing approaches can help translate global commitments into concrete, country-level investment.

As momentum builds following FfD4, the event will focus on practical pathways to mobilize and align public and private capital at scale — including through blended finance, integrated national financing frameworks, and strengthened partnerships between policy actors and long-term investors.

The conversation will feature perspectives from senior representatives across governments, IFIs, and the private sector, and will highlight country-level experiences, including Egypt’s leadership in advancing integrated financing strategies, alongside Spain’s role in shaping global approaches to sustainable development financing. 

We would be delighted by your participation and engagement in what promises to be a timely and forward-looking discussion.

Agenda:

• Opening remarks from Egypt and Spain
• Opening perspective from the Joint SDG Fund 

Moderated discussion with representatives from:

• an IFI/MDB
• a catalytic financing mechanism or long-term institutional investor
• a Spanish private sector or financial institution engaged in investments in Egypt
• Interactive Q&A with Member States, IFIs, UN entities, and financing partners
