Overview
Development Finance Lead Bristol About Development Initiatives (DI) Our mission is to ensure that decisions about the allocation of finance and resources result in an end to poverty, increase the resilience of the world’s most vulnerable people, and leave no one behind. We believe that by 2030, it’s possible to bring about an end to extreme poverty. However, current global and national investments are not reducing poverty fast enough to meet the agreed Sustainable Development Goals - other resources need to be better harnessed. We’re working to ensure that investments work more effectively, together and to their comparative strengths to benefit poor and vulnerable people. We are also investigating what the financing models of the future will look like and how they can be developed to transition from other financial streams which may have reached their potential. To support our work, we are looking for a Development Finance Lead to join us in Bristol and support the next phase of our development finance portfolio.
