Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), in partnership with the World Bank Group, co-hosted a high-level session on “Innovative Financing for Development: Scaling Impact and Driving Inclusive, Sustainable Growth” on the sidelines of the Doha Forum 2025.
The session examined a range of innovative financing mechanisms, from results-based funding, concessional finance, and blended investment models, to digital solutions that expand access to capital. It also highlighted the role of policy and financial markets in accelerating progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), showcasing practical experiences in risk mitigation and investment mobilization in least developed countries, and advancing joint action toward scalable solutions that drive inclusive growth and resilience.
Mr. Fahad Hamad Al-Sulaiti, Director General of QFFD, affirmed that QFFD is strengthening its role as a catalyst for development investment by shifting from traditional grants to innovative financing models that translate commitments into tangible impact. He emphasized that the goal is to empower the most vulnerable communities through fair, sustainable development solutions that enhance their ability to grow and thrive.
