Investors don't fund good intentions.

They fund credible proposals. At #BilbaoBootcamp2, 20 country teams spent three days making theirs credible — then stood in a room and defended them.

The questions were hard. The learning was real. The proposals are stronger for it. 🌍

[Joint SDG Fund 🇺🇳 @JointSDGFund]
