Organised by
- Center for Global Development
- Bretton Woods II Initiative
- Save the Children UK
Summary
The SDGs offer a blueprint for innovative, inclusive development. How the world finances them must be innovative and inclusive too. That means thinking beyond aid – to more and different sources of development finance. The focus of this event will be sustainable solutions and practical proposals – a showcase for the best ideas to finance development. Five featured speakers will outline five big ideas and the event then offers an open forum for more ideas from attendees.
Featured speakers include:
– Sir Suma Chakrabarti, President, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
– Elizabeth Littlefield, President & CEO, Overseas Private Investment Corporation
– Owen Barder, Director & Senior Fellow, Center for Global Development Europe
– Tomicah Tilleman, Director, Bretton Woods II Initiative, New America Foundation
– Gugulethu Ndebele, CEO, Save the Children – South Africa
– Rajesh Mirchandani (moderator), Senior Director of Communications and Policy Outreach, Center for Global Development
As Member States work out the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of Financing for Development, this event focuses on the ‘how’. Attendees will leave with a greater appreciation of constructive tools to unlock more and different sources of development finance.
