Summary

This side-event – co-organized by UNCDF and the Governments of Benin and Ethiopia – will identify concrete models of using ODA to mobilize domestic resources that promote local and inclusive finance, and specific actions to scale up those models. The Davos-style moderated panel will bring together senior representatives from Member States, the UN, the private sector, banks, and financial regulatory authorities.

The side event will discuss how ODA can be a critical stage-setter to leverage additional funds and to mobilize domestic savings and capital for local investment, so as to promote inclusive growth. This will include a focus on de-risking the local investment space and proving concept to tap into the economic potential of often overlooked population groups, enterprises and localities.
