Overseas Development Institute (ODI)

Summary

This high level side event will explore how the outcome of the Financing for Development conference can support the global ambition to ‘leave no one behind’. It will discuss how and where international finance should be allocated to deliver for the world’s poorest people and countries.

The Third International Conference on Financing for Development is the first major gathering of the international community in this critical year for international development. The outcome of the conference, while important in its own right, will also set the global level of ambition as we look towards the finalisation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in September and the Paris Climate CoP in December. This event will explore how the outcome of the Addis conference can raise ambition and build momentum ahead of these critical summits, ensuring success in 2015 and beyond.

Panellists will include Ministers from both donor governments and least developed countries (LDCs).

Kevin Watkins, ODI’s Executive Director, will chair the discussion.
