Resilience finance at scale: country platforms in fragile contexts

11:30 – 13:00

Challenge session

This session will highlight how nationally led platforms can link climate finance, debt solutions and social protection to build resilience in climate-vulnerable and particularly fragile and conflict-affected countries. With insights from Somalia, Mali and beyond, it will showcase innovative, locally-led financing approaches that strengthen systems and support food security.

This session explores how nationally led platforms can align climate finance, debt solutions and social protection to build resilience in climate-vulnerable countries, and particularly fragile and conflict-affected countries.

Drawing on grounded experiences from Somalia, Mali and broader global evidence, it will showcase how innovative financing approaches, such as anticipatory social protection, blended finance and the Debt Sustainability Support Service, can strengthen delivery systems, unlock private investment and promote food security.

Through practical examples and forward-looking dialogue, the session will identify system-wide gaps, and demonstrate the value of integrated, locally-led, and conflict-sensitive finance for resilience in least developed countries and fragile settings.
