Technological progress at warp speed, social and environmental challenges, geopolitical instability, and uncertainty and mega crisis emanating from the outbreak of infectious diseases are considered to be the new normal.

The 21^st century economy needs 21^st century development finance architecture and a one which is based on integrated rather than the legacy siloed systems and processes.

PRIDE 21 brings policymakers, regulators, national development banks and other players through its partner national institution to create a modern, effective, innovative, collaborative and agile development finance architecture.

It eliminates gaps and duplication in the national development finance system, supports in developing shared goals, creates alignment and ensures that all key players are moving in the same direction

PRIDE 21 is geared to scale up development impact by enabling national development banks and value-driven financial institutions in the country to become key partners of their governments in financing sustainable development and playing a strong role in creating a vibrant, socially inclusive and environmentally friendly economy WITHOUT creating mountains of debts to be served by the next generations.
