Inclusive Finance, Private Sector, Digital4Development

By valuing the expertise of the leading international financial centre and relying on integrated local development approaches, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation aims to eradicate poverty and implement the sustainable development goals (SDGs) through inclusive and innovative finance.

Since the 2015 Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for Development, it has been widely recognised that it is now essential to harness the dynamism of the private sector in order to help implement the sustainable development goals (SDGs) globally.

The Digital for Development (D4D) concept seeks to promote the integration of digital tools by those working in development assistance and humanitarian action, whether in regard, for example, to basic social services, major innovative development projects or as a tool for the formalisation and monitoring of development policies.

The year 2022 saw significant efforts by the Luxembourg Development Cooperation to find specific areas for its collaboration with the research ecosystem through collaborations and joint projects to contribute to the sustainable development goals.

Avenues for specific collaborations were developed in 2022, inspired by the shared desire to highlight concrete synergies at the intersection of the respective objectives of the Luxembourg Space Agency (LSA) and the Luxembourg Development Cooperation.
