FMDV PRESENTATION & CONTEXT
FMDV is a global network of local and regional governments with the mission to develop and promote investment and financing solutions for urban development. Both a network of expertise and an incubator for operational strategies, FMDV supports its partners in three operational areas at all levels of intervention (international, regional, national, and local):
- Supporting strategies and operational solutions for financing urban development
FMDV supports ministries, local governments and their associations, international organizations and financing institutions, through support and advisory missions, in the design and deployment of strategies and institutional mechanisms for financing urban development.

FMDV contributes to the political and institutional debate on localizing finance through advocacy actions (including at the United Nations), the publication of reference books, case studies, and the organization of training courses and study trips.
