Global Development Incubator

Global Development Incubator (GDI) builds multi-stakeholder initiatives and partnerships to address the most pressing development challenges in the world. The organisation is non-profit and has a global mandate, with core offices in the United States, Kenya and China. Since its inception, GDI has incubated over 35 initiatives operating globally across a range of development sectors.

The Cities Investment Advisory Platform (CIAP) is an innovative financing initiative delivered as a partnership between UN-Habitat and Global Development Incubator. CIAP aims to improve the quality of life and access to services for urban communities through increasing the pace and quality of sustainable urban development in these cities. CIAP complements existing investment facilities and market making services by looking at enhancing early stage design and origination.
