Blended finance periaatteella refers to the strategic use of blended finance principles in financial transactions and development initiatives. Blended finance itself is an investment approach that combines public or philanthropic capital with private sector capital to mobilize additional private investment in support of sustainable development. The core idea is to de-risk investments for private investors, making projects that might otherwise be considered too risky or not financially viable on their own, more attractive.

The "periaatteella" aspect signifies that these principles are actively applied in the design and execution of financial structures. This can involve various mechanisms. For instance, concessional capital from development finance institutions or foundations might be used to absorb a portion of the risk, such as through guarantees or first-loss provisions. This cushion encourages private investors to participate, knowing that their potential downside is limited. Other common tools include technical assistance to build capacity, risk mitigation instruments, and innovative debt or equity structures.

The goal of applying blended finance periaatteella is to unlock significant private capital for projects aligned with global development objectives, such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, healthcare, and education. By leveraging limited public or philanthropic funds to attract larger private investments, blended finance aims to achieve greater impact and scale than public funds could achieve alone. It's a mechanism designed to bridge the financing gap for the Sustainable Development Goals and other critical development challenges.
