8 July - How to Enhance the Impact of the Financing for Development Process?
The Friends of Monterrey, through their co-chairs the Governments of Germany and Mexico, have contracted DFI to review the impact of the Financing for Development process, following on from the Addis Ababa Conference of 2015. The study will suggest ways to enhance its impact on and coherence with other UN processes and agencies, and especially on progress in finding sustainable financing solutions for the SDGs at country level.
The study began in July, and has involved interviews with 20 key institutional stakeholders and global analysts of financing for development. At a side-event at the High-Level Political Forum on 18 July in New York, DFI presented the key issues to be examined in the study, which is being finalised by September.
