As traditional development financing evolves, National Development Banks (NDBs) are becoming pivotal in unlocking funding for the SDGs. Building on its partnership with the Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN), SHF together with DBN, UNCDF, AFD, and other partners will showcase how collaboration with NDBs can facilitate local currency financing, reduce exchange rate risks, and enhance country ownership, ultimately driving transformative impact for people, economies, and the environment.
