The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are expected to define an ambitious and bold development agenda following up on the Millennium Development Goals. The new agenda aims to tackle problems which have emerged or become more pronounced over recent years, such as climate change, accelerated environmental degradation and income inequality.
The range of challenges that the new agenda aims to tackle requires us to go beyond development aid. The international community needs to ensure that adequate public finance is available for a whole range of areas in ways which do not compromise or undermine ODA. BUT the post-2015 agenda cannot be achieved through public finance alone, whether mobilized domestically or flowing from external sources. Most of the resources needed to finance the post-2015 agenda will come from the private sources – households, businesses and investors.
Coffee and Tea will be served before the seminar starts, at 10.00.
Please register no later than 2/6.
Speaker
Gail Hurley, Policy Specialist on development financing and UNDP’s focal point for the upcoming Financing for Development conference in Addis Ababa will speak about financing the new, post-2015 development agenda in a world where volatility has become the norm.
Prior to joining UNDP, Gail was the Policy and Advocacy Officer at Eurodad where she was responsible for EURODAD’s research, policy analysis and advocacy on developing country debt and development finance. Gail’s areas of expertise include sovereign debt, responsible lending and borrowing, aid, conditionalities and broader financial flows.
