Pooled funding mechanisms like the Joint SDG Fund provide a strategic, coordinated way to accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By combining contributions from multiple donors, these funds deliver larger, more flexible, and more predictable investments that drive integrated, cross-sectoral solutions. Pooled funds also strengthen national ownership and accountability by operating under the leadership of the UN Resident Coordinator, who ensures that funding aligns with national priorities and maximizes collaboration across UN agencies. This approach reduces fragmentation, promotes innovation, and mobilizes partnerships at scale to deliver greater impact for people and the planet.
