Summary

The success of the outcome document of the Third International Conference on Financing for Development will, in many ways, hinge on identifying realistic and effective means of implementation. Critical in this regard will be reframing the role human capacity will play in contributing to the global commitments on sustainable development.

This side-event will address questions about how to galvanize the human resources needed to achieve transformative global progress and how to develop participatory and inclusive mechanisms for the achievement of the Financing for Development goals and to support the implementation of the post-2015 agenda at all levels. Participants will discuss how to tap the potential of people’s participation as a key means of implementation across the board. Finally, the discussion will offer ideas on how the Financing for Development conversation can be people centered and ensure that the needs of the most marginalized groups are directly addressed by the commitments made in this area.
