Fighting poverty with sustainable investments
Swedfund is Sweden’s development finance institution with the mission to reduce poverty through sustainable investments in developing countries. We share the same goal as development cooperation in general, but the tools we use are different; we invest in the private sector and initiate feasibility studies and capacity building to cater for sustainable and investable infrastructure in developing countries.
We have two instruments to fulfil our mission: sustainable investments and technical feasibility studies through the Project Accelerator.
We play an important role in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement on climate change by contributing to the creation of decent jobs and increased access to essential products and services such as electricity, food, healthcare and digital business models. Our feasibility studies support sustainable public infrastructure development, trade and export opportunities for Swedish companies.
