SDBs Alliances
FMDV – Promotor & Supporter of SDBs at the Global Level
Subnational Development Banks (SDBs) are public development banks or public financing institutions supported by national governments or states, with the specific mandate to provide funding to local governments and local stakeholders and support subnational urban investments. They can take the form of local government financing institutions (LGFIs), Municipal Development Funds, National Investment Funds for local authorities that have the capacity to remove barriers for local government debt financing.
For the past ten years, FMDV has played a leading role in promoting the role of Subnational Development Banks (SDBs) in international agenda and has also been enhancing their capacities at global, regional and national levels.
Thanks to FMDV’s action, SDBs progressively gained international recognition in the United Nations agenda and were more and more considered as key stakeholders to bridge the subnational investment gap and allow the implementation of global agendas such as the Sustainable Development Goals and the objectives of the Paris agreement.
