Mr.Peter Thomson is convening a three-day retreat, entitled &#8220;Catalysing New Partnerships to Accelerate Financing of Sustainable Infrastructure&#8221;. The event will be held from 12 &#8211; 14 June 2017 at the Pocantico Conference Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund , New York.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The retreat aims to support member states to gain more knowledge on how best to secure funding for dedicated projects and programmes aimed at realizing the SDGs. It will offer space where government officials engage in focused exchanges with key actors from the financial sector regarding the overall feasibility of their investment projects from a business case and bankability perspective. The retreat will bring together expert level government officials from a number of countries participating in the 2017 HLPF, together with development finance specialists, private investors, asset managers and institutional investors to identify existing opportunities and challenges for host countries and steps that each actor could take to help unlock financing solutions for specific projects in sustainable infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>DOCUMENTS<\/h2>\n<div class=\"shortcode-toggle toggle-reading-list closed default border\"><h4 class=\"toggle-trigger\"><a href=\"#\">Reading list<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"toggle-content\"><\/p>\n<h3>Reading list:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/71\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2017\/06\/AfDB_Moving_towards_a_green_productive_agriculture_in_Africa_The_role_of_ICTs.pdf\">AfDB_Moving_towards_a_green_productive_agriculture_in_Africa_The_role_of_ICTs<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/71\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2017\/06\/Bridging-Global-Infrastructure-Gaps-Full-report-June-2016.pdf\">Bridging-Global-Infrastructure-Gaps: Full report (June 2016)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/71\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2017\/06\/Bridging-Global-Infrastructure-Gaps-In-Brief.pdf\">Bridging-Global-Infrastructure-Gaps-In-Brief<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/71\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2017\/06\/Executive-Summary_BSDC.pdf\">Executive-Summary_BSDC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/71\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2017\/06\/Financing_Africa_Infrastructure.pdf\">Financing_Africa_Infrastructure<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/71\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2017\/06\/MGI-Lions-on-the-Move-2-Executive-summary-September-2016v2.pdf\">MGI Lions on the Move: Executive Summary (September 2016)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/71\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2017\/06\/New-Horizons-African-Finance.pdf\">New Horizons African Finance<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/71\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2017\/06\/Report_IATF-2017-min.pdf\">Report IATF-2017<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.africaprogresspanel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/APP_Lights_Power_Action_Web_PDF.pdf\">Africa Progress Panel: Lights, Power Action<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/developmentfinance.un.org\/sites\/developmentfinance.un.org\/files\/Report_IATF-2017.pdf\">FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT: PROGRESS AND PROSPECTS<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/71\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2017\/06\/IADB-and-Mercer-Crossing-the-Bridge-to-Sustainable-Infrastructure-Investing-Exploring-Ways-to-Make-it-Across.pdf\">IADB and Mercer: Crossing the Bridge to Sustainable Infrastructure Investing-Exploring Ways to Make it Across<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/71\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2017\/06\/YES-BANK-SEWA-Case-Study-Ver-7.pdf\">YES BANK- SEWA Case Study<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/71\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2017\/06\/IEEFF-June-15-2015.pdf\">IEEFF June 2015<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/71\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2017\/06\/iEEFF-Interim-Project-Description-08.2015.pdf\">iEEFF Interim Project Description &#8211;
