Financing for Development (FfD)
The Financing for Development process encompasses the commitments contained in the 2002 Monterrey Consensus, the 2008 Doha Declaration on Financing for Development, the 2015 Addis Ababa Action Agenda and financing for development-related aspects of the outcomes of major United Nations conferences and summits in the economic and social fields, including the Agenda United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, as well as the 2030 Agenda.
In 2016 the Financing for Development’s theme is “Financing for sustainable development: follow-up to the Addis Ababa Action Agenda,” which includes the follow-up and review of the outcomes and the means of implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
The WMG devised a permanent working group, and works under the leadership of the Women’s Working Group (WWG) for FfD, which is co-convened by AWID, DAWN and the Feminist Task Force.
