The Sustainable Development Investment Partnership (SDIP) is an international public-private partnership which aims to use blended finance to support sustainable infrastructure investments in developing countries. The SDIP thus brings together public, private and philanthropic entities to work towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out by the United Nations.[1] The SDIP was launched at the United Nations Conference on Financing for Development in Addis Ababa in July 2015 with 20 founding members,[2] which has since risen to 42.[when?] The World Economic Forum and OECD were founding partners and provide institutional support.[3] SDIP's inaugural meeting took place in Geneva, Switzerland on 15 September 2015.

The partnership's public goal is to provide 100 billion dollars per year of additional finance over five years.[4] SDIP aims to support inclusive growth and poverty alleviation through investments in water and sanitation systems, transportation, clean energy, agriculture, health, telecommunications, climate adaptation, and other areas.

Regional hubs
As an organisation focused on bridging funding gaps towards the SDGs, a large share of SDIP-funded projects are located in Sub-Saharan Africa; of the $30 billion projects worldwide, over $20 billion are located across the continent.[5] Consequently, the partnership has established an African hub[6] to build local capacity and share best practice across its network of institutions.[7]
An ASEAN hub was also launched in 2017.[8]
