Multisectoral

Simple sectoral approaches to complex national and global sustainable development challenges are inadequate. Recognizing that all 17 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are interlinked, the OPEC Fund works hard to promote a better understanding of the interdependence within and across sectors. As well as supporting multisectoral projects, the OPEC Fund finances projects that ‘cut across’ more than one sector, such as financial initiatives that support agriculture or education.  In 2019, multisectoral approvals total US$146.2m.
