SUMMARY:Financing for Development in a Fractured World
DESCRIPTION:Join the NGO Committee on Financing for Development for an important look at FfD in a contemporary context\, knowing that the repercussions of COVID-19 and climate destruction are here to stay\, at least for the foreseeable future. \nDate and Time: 8:30 am – 10:00 am EST on November 9\, 2022 \n Please register in advance: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwuduutpjguGtENOtCZCf-EtA7AD0azr_Wu  \nObjective: The General Assembly will decide during the current session whether it is ready to convoke the fourth Financing for Development (FfD) conference in the next few years. The global economy is in a difficult situation\, especially for development\, underlining the need for more effective international economic and financial cooperation. While it is not obvious that the international community as a whole is currently ready to effectively address the pending issues\, it is time to start to try to build a new global consensus on financing for sustainable development. \nThe objective of the NGO Committee on FfD in organizing this workshop is to build the capacity of NGOs/CSOs that focus on a range of economic\, social\, and environmental issues to engage effectively in the FfD processes and to share updates on the current FfD discussions. While the session is geared towards NGOs/CSOs already engaged with UN processes\, it is open to anyone interested in gaining an understanding of FfD. Speakers will provide a perspective of the FfD processes\, clarify the larger impact of FfD-related decisions on the achievements of the 2030 agenda\, and share insights on current developments and areas that require urgent action and strengthened advocacy efforts. \nRead the full concept note here! \n___________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: The NGO Committee on Financing for Development is a Substantive Committee of the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations.
