Multilateral Cooperation Center for Development Finance (MCDF)

The Multilateral Cooperation Center for Development Finance (MCDF) is a multilateral initiative to increase high-quality infrastructure and connectivity investments in developing countries in compliance with International Financial Institution (IFI) standards, including by encouraging other investors and financial institutions to adopt such standards. The MCDF is designed to reinforce the numerous existing global, regional and sectoral initiatives established in response to the need for more connectivity infrastructure in the world. It will support implementation of the G20 Quality Infrastructure Principles, the UN Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as the Paris Climate Agreement. With its goal of working in cooperation with existing channels and mechanisms, the MCDF will aim to contribute positively to a better-connected world built on high quality, sustainable infrastructure.
