UNCDF Policy Perspectives for Rio + 20
(UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF))
This note presents UNCDF focused inputs towards the RIO+20 Outcome Document. UNCDF strongly supports inclusive and sustainable growth and wishes to highlight that progress is needed on 2 critical fronts: 1) local development finance and the empowerment of local governments as key actors for sustainable growth; and 2) financial inclusion, as a key mean to enable individuals, households, and enterprises to contribute to and benefit from growth.
