SUMMARY:Exploring Digital Finance's Real Promises and Challenges for Development
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Digital Finance’s Real Promises and Challenges for Development \nJoin the NGO Committee on Financing for Development on Wednesday\, 27 April 2022\, 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. EDT for this official side event to the 2022 ECOSOC Financing for Development Forum. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0qc-6orjsuGdFhyWHfljp7ZNxV526Onoc7 \nSpeakers: \n\nMs. Cina Lawson\, Minister of Digital Economy and Transformation of the Republic of Togo (TBC)\nDr. Purva Khera\, Economist\, International Monetary Fund\nMr. Johannes Ehrentraud\, Senior Advisor\, Financial Stability Institute\, Bank for International Settlements\nMs. Sofie Blakstad\, CEO of hiveonline and author of Fintech Revolution: Universal Inclusion in the New Financial Ecosystem\nMs. Anneleen Vos\, Seionr Economic Policy Officer\, International Rescue Committee\nMr. Prabhat Labh\, CEO\, Grameen Foundation India\nMs. Mercy Buku\, Program Leader\, Toronto Center\n\nModerator: Mx. Anita Thomas\, Chair\, NGO Committee on FfD\, Representative to the UN\, Women First International Fund \nCo-sponsors: ManUp Campaign\, Change Management Solutions\, Sisters of Charity Foundation\, African Development Interchange Network\, IBVM \nBackground: \nThe UN Secretary General’s task force on digital finance in its report titled “People’s Money: Harnessing Digitalization to Finance a Sustainable Future\,” spells out the transformational impact digital finance can have on sustainable development. Providing relief for millions around the world\, supporting businesses\, and protecting jobs and livelihoods\, digital finance served as a lifeline during the COVID-19 pandemic. A World Bank tally of policy responses to the pandemic finds that at least 58 governments in developing countries used digital payments to deliver COVID-19 relief\, of which 36 countries made payments into fully transactional accounts that were being used for saving beyond simply withdrawing cash. According to the GSMA\, international remittances processed via mobile money increased by 65 percent in 2020. \nProponents of digital finance highlight its strong capabilities to reduce transaction costs\, the potential of Artificial Intelligence to provide fair and equitable treatment of credit applicants\, and the scalability of cloud technology\, through the use of blockchain technology\, to allow consumers to transact remotely and seamlessly across multiple platforms. \nWhile the experience of COVID-19 has proven that digitalization can transform economies and lives\, it needs to be shaped with both its advantages and potential risks in mind in order to bring everyone into the digital age. For technology to benefit everyone\, private sector innovation must be supported by the appropriate public goods such as the public provision of foundational infrastructure\, access to electricity\, mobile and internet coverage. \nAs in the case of any disruptive technology\, without combining technological advances with sound policy measures\, digital technology cannot deliver on its potential to meaningfully advance financial inclusion for everyone\, including the more than 2 billion unbanked people globally. Delivering on promises to advance financial inclusion can only be considered meaningful when the account holder has a fully functional account that they utilize to save\, make payments\, obtain manageable credit\, and mitigate economic risks and is simply not utilized to withdraw cash from cash transfers from the government\, which is overwhelmingly the case at this time. \nBy examining successful strategies that maximize digital finance’s potential while minimizing risks to the financial sector\, government revenues\, and at-risk populations\, attendees will gain a better understanding of how digital finance can sustainably advance development objectives. \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.

SUMMARY:Financing for Universal and Crisis-Responsive Social Protection and Decent Work: Proposals of 2021 UN Inter-Agency Working Group
DESCRIPTION:Join the NGO Committee on Financing for Development on Tuesday\, April 26\, from 8 – 9:30am EST for an official side event of the 2022 ECOSOC Financing for Development Forum on Financing for Universal and Crisis-Responsive Social Protection and Decent Work: Proposals of 2021 UN Inter-Agency Working Group \nSpeakers: \n\nH.E. Mr. Phillippe Kridelka\, Ambassador\, Permanent Representative of Belgium to the United Nations\nMr. Helmut Schwarzner\, Senior Social Security Specialist for the Americas\, Social Protection Department\, ILO Geneva\nMr. David Stewart\, Chief of Child Strategy and Social Protection\, UNICEF\nDr. Santosh Mehrotra\, Research Fellow\, IZA Institute of Labor Economics\, Bonn\, Germany\nMs. Tikhala Itaye\, Director\, Global Movement Building\, Women in Global Health\n\nModerator: Dr. Barry Herman\, Member Advisory Board\, Social Justice in Global Development \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYsfuqqrjwiHtLVutntuRo0xgsa9K_vEKxP \nCo-sponsors: Vivat International\, Women First International Fund\, Salesian Missions\, International Labour Organization\, World Vision\, Social Justice in Global Development \nBackground: Social protection refers to assuring a basic income floor and access to basic healthcare throughout the life cycle. It should be provided universally to all people in need\, but that is far from current practice. While decent jobs\, including self-employment\, are mainly in the private economy\, meeting the qualifications for most jobs usually requires education and good health\, which are primarily public service functions. Thus\, programs to promote social protection and decent jobs entail adequate\, effective\, and fair national systems of taxation\, complemented by international assistance\, often in the form of technical assistance but also sometimes in aid-financed budget support\, as for low-income countries. \nThe experience of the pandemic laid bare inadequate systems to deliver cash transfers to compensate for the economic costs of the crisis and inadequate public health systems to deliver vaccines\, tests\, and protective equipment\, along with the very limited capacity\, especially in developing countries\, to maintain employment during the crisis-induced economic contraction. The pandemic experience requires us to think about preparing better “shock responsive” social protection and health systems and stronger counter-cyclical policies. Preparation\, in turn\, requires consideration of ways to mobilize the necessary domestic and international financial resources on an ongoing basis and with the capacity to meet the higher expenditure needs at times of crisis. \nWhile the inter-agency report concluded with 21 separate proposals\, speakers in the side event will be asked to discuss one or more of the proposals. There is no expectation that all 21 proposals would be covered\, nor is that necessary. What is necessary is to bring the attention of the FfD Follow-up Forum for consideration by policymakers the work of the 16 cooperating agencies in the task force and the civil society\, labor\, employer\, and youth stakeholders that were consulted in preparing the report. \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.

SUMMARY:Feminist Action Nexus for Economic and Climate Justice: Global Kickoff 
DESCRIPTION:The Feminist Action Nexus on Climate and Economic Justice  \ninvites you to join us for our Global Kickoff \nTuesday\, 12 April 2022 from 12:00 to 15:00 UTC (convert to your time zone here). \nTo register to join us\, please click here.   \nEmerging out of the Generation Equality Forum\, the Action Nexus is co-convened by the African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET)\, the Pan-African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA)\, the Women’s Working Group on Financing for Development (WWG on FfD)\, and the Women’s Environment and Development Organization (WEDO). Together with dynamic global South-based activist-intellectuals\, these four organizations have begun to outline a conceptual framework that unpacks the connections between neoliberalism\, patriarchy\, white supremacy\, and colonialism. \nWe invite you to join us as we outline a collective advocacy agenda to advance a vision for a feminist and decolonial global green new deal\, grounded in a blueprint for a feminist agenda for people and planet. This three-hour global kickoff meeting will draw connections between the emerging work of the Action Nexus and the advocacy and activism of feminist movements across the world\, particularly in the global/economic South. \nBeginning with a grounding in the conceptual framework of the Action Nexus\, this action-oriented strategy session will include breakout groups across regions and issue areas. As outcomes\, the event will collectively produce a policy map of upcoming events and processes and a draft advocacy strategy for the Action Nexus\, including the publication of advocacy briefs and an accountability mechanism before the end of 2022. \nEvent: Feminist Action Nexus for Economic and Climate Justice: Global Kickoff \nDate: Tuesday\, 12 April\, 2022 \nTime: 7AM-10AM Mexico DF; 8AM-11AM New York; 3-6PM East Africa; 5:30-8:30PM New Delhi; 7PM-10PM Bangkok; convert to your time zone here \nWhere: Zoom (Register here) \nAccessibility: Simultaneous interpretation will be provided across English\, French and Spanish.

SUMMARY:Feminist Action Nexus for Economic and Climate Justice: Global Kickoff 
DESCRIPTION:The Feminist Action Nexus on Climate and Economic Justice  \ninvites you to join us for our Global Kickoff \nTuesday\, 12 April 2022 from 12:00 to 15:00 UTC (convert to your time zone here). \nTo register to join us\, please click here.   \nEmerging out of the Generation Equality Forum\, the Action Nexus is co-convened by the African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET)\, the Pan-African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA)\, the Women’s Working Group on Financing for Development (WWG on FfD)\, and the Women’s Environment and Development Organization (WEDO). Together with dynamic global South-based activist-intellectuals\, these four organizations have begun to outline a conceptual framework that unpacks the connections between neoliberalism\, patriarchy\, white supremacy\, and colonialism. \nWe invite you to join us as we outline a collective advocacy agenda to advance a vision for a feminist and decolonial global green new deal\, grounded in a blueprint for a feminist agenda for people and planet. This three-hour global kickoff meeting will draw connections between the emerging work of the Action Nexus and the advocacy and activism of feminist movements across the world\, particularly in the global/economic South. \nBeginning with a grounding in the conceptual framework of the Action Nexus\, this action-oriented strategy session will include breakout groups across regions and issue areas. As outcomes\, the event will collectively produce a policy map of upcoming events and processes and a draft advocacy strategy for the Action Nexus\, including the publication of advocacy briefs and an accountability mechanism before the end of 2022. \nEvent: Feminist Action Nexus for Economic and Climate Justice: Global Kickoff \nDate: Tuesday\, 12 April\, 2022 \nTime: 7AM-10AM Mexico DF; 8AM-11AM New York; 3-6PM East Africa; 5:30-8:30PM New Delhi; 7PM-10PM Bangkok; convert to your time zone here \nWhere: Zoom (Register here) \nAccessibility: Simultaneous interpretation will be provided across English\, French and Spanish.

SUMMARY:She Talks Peace: An NGO CSW Side Event
DESCRIPTION:SHE TALKS PEACE \nMarch 22\, 2022. | 08:00 to 09:30 NY EST \nRegister HERE. \nShe Talks Peace – a podcast and an initiative of the Philippine Center for Islam and Democracy – offers an important inclusive and enabling environment for women and girls to communicate especially in relation to sustainable development and building cultures of peace. \nClimate change and more recently COVID-19 heightened the inequalities of structural violence and systemic injustices. Women\, who are disproportionately affected by climate-induced disasters and conflict and who now are at the frontlines social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic\, need to be able to position themselves effectively in discussions and actions that promote women’s empowerment and sustainable development. \nThis side event introduces ‘She who talks and acts for peace’ and all that entails. This means women and girls communicating in different ways such as finding their voices\, having a seat at the table\, creating their own niche\, breaking glass ceilings or fixing leaky faucets. \nBoth peacebuilding and promoting sustainable development are highly-gendered phenomena. Climate change should not be addressed in isolation from the crisis of peace as the two are intertwined. \nFrom the perspectives of peacemakers and climate communicators\, participants will discuss their efforts to communicate building a better world for all and how discussions on climate and peacebuilding can potentially form transformative spaces for gender relations and women’s empowerment. \nPROGRAMME \n\n\n\n7:00 to 8:00AM\nRegistration\n\n\n\n8:00 -8:05\nWelcome Remarks\nAmbassador Delia Albert \nFormer Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary; Chaired the UNSC in 2004\n\n\n8:05 -8:15\nMessages \n  \n \nDr. Liberato Bautista \nPresident\, Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations \nDr. Akiko Horiba \nSasakawa Peace Foundation\n\n\n8:15-8:55\nShe Talks Peace:  Strategies to Promote Advocacies\n\n\n\n\nEngaging the Community in Protection and Preservation of the Environment in Southeast Asia \n \nAtty.
