The India-United Nations Development Partnership Fund promotes shared prosperity in the Global South. Together with the multilateral system, it contributes to developing country initiatives that aim towards realizing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The $150 million India-UN Development Partnership Fund, established in 2017, is supported and operated by the Government of India, the statement said. It is implemented in collaboration with the United Nations system. The Fund supports South-owned and led, demand-led and transformative sustainable development projects across the developing world, with a particular focus on least developed countries and small island developing states. United Nations agencies work with partner governments to implement the Fund’s projects. The Commonwealth Window of the India-United Nations Development Partnership Fund aims to accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the developing countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. The Commonwealth of Nations is a voluntary group of independent and equal sovereign states, consisting primarily of former territories of the British Empire, of which India is one. According to the statement, the countries supported by this Commonwealth Window are located in different parts of the world and include some of the most vulnerable member states of the Commonwealth. Technological and sustainable development among Commonwealth countries is particularly relevant and beneficial to collective national development efforts.
