2015 Global Forum on Development

Patrick Guillaumont participated in the preparatory meeting "Financing the Post 2015 Sustainable Development Goals in Fragile and Least Developed Countries" organized on March 31, 2015.

The Global Forum on Development has offered a timely opportunity to explore these unknowns with a broad set of experts, practitioners, non-state actors and policy makers ahead of the third UN Financing for Development Conference in Addis Ababa (July 2015). It has brought to the forefront how different streams of finance work together, emphasising country experiences of success, while also identifying where main bottlenecks to coherent policy approaches are encountered at the national level. It has offered an opportunity for policy makers from developed and developing countries to engage with non-traditional actors – such as foundations, enterprises and institutional investors – that are called upon to play an important role in implementing the SDGs.
