Description
Three years following the adoption of the 2030 and Addis Ababa Agenda’s, the world continues to witness discernible progress across all levels of implementation of the two Agenda’s. Yet, progress to finance sustainable development is neither happening at the pace required to achieve the SDGs nor to reduce socio-economic inequalities within and across regions. Concerns are mounting over new challenges being imposed by a broad stream of factors other than those that had been contemplated at the time of adopting the two Agenda’s. The panel will deliver insights of senior policy-makers and assessments from key stakeholders on the state of financing for development (FfD). The panel will also explore pathways to overcome salient challenges and contradictions that are superimposing themselves onto regional and national financing development propensities. The panel ultimately aims to provide a case sensitive regional assessment of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda.
The moderated discussion will be conducted in a free-flowing ‘Davos-style’ setting. Each panel will feature an interactive component, engaging speakers from the floor, including Member States, civil society organizations and the private sector.
