    Report of the Inter-agency Task Force on Financing for Development FINANCING FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2019 asdf United Nations New York, 2019 This report is a joint product of the members of the Inter-agency Task Force on Financing for Devel- opment (a full list of members can be found on page x). The Financing for Sustainable Development Office of then U ited Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs serves as the coordinator and substantive editor of the Financing for Sustainable Development report. The online annex of the Task Force (http://developmentfinance.un.org) comprehensively monitors progress in implementation of the Financing for Development outcomes, including the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and relevant means of implementation targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. It provides the complete evidence base for the Task Force’s annual report on progress in the seven action areas of the Addis Agenda (chapters III.A–III.G). The report is by necessity more concise and selective and should thus be read in conjunction with the online annex. The online annex also covers several key cross-cutting initiatives that build on the synergies of the Sustainable Development Goals: Delivering social protection and essential public services Ending hunger and malnutrition Closing the infrastructure gap Promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization Generating full and productive employment for all Protecting ecosystems Promoting peaceful and inclusive societies Gender equality Investing in children and youth Addressing the diverse needs and challenges faced by countries in special situations Global partnership Inquiries about the Task Force or its report and online annex can be sent to: Financing for Sustainable Development Office Department of Economic and Social Affairs 2 United Nations Plaza (DC2- 2170) New York, N.Y.

  • A Joint Submission to the World Bank and IMF Review of HIPC and Debt Sustainability
    A Joint Submission to the World Bank and IMF Review of HIPC and Debt Sustainability August 2002 EURODAD European Network on Debt and Development Executive Summary At the World Bank and IMF annual meetings in September 2002, it is understood the two institutions will be discussing the progress of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative and a number of proposals that have been put forward for its reform. CAFOD, Christian Aid, Oxfam GB and EURODAD believe that this review must, as agreed at the UN Financing for development Conference in Monterrey in March, include an assessment of the HIPC Initiative’s role in helping finance the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are internationally agreed development targets including the aim to halve poverty by 2015. The HIPC Initiative has already freed up resources from debt servicing for 26 low-income countries, enabling pro poor expenditure and some progress towards the MDGs. However, these socio-economic gains under HIPC are by no means universal and, where they exist, they are limited and precarious. The HIPC countries, as with all low-income countries, continue to face development challenges such as the spread of HIV/AIDS, low levels of literacy and poor nutrition, equipped with only scarce and highly vulnerable domestic resources. The Monterrey consensus re-affirmed that developing countries would need to supplement these domestic resources. Yet, despite the international commitment to achieving the MDGs, donors have not pledged the sufficient additional aid resources that are required to meet these goals. Most low-income countries have limited sources of capital available to them.

  • Study on Financing for Development Post-2015: Improving The
    DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES OF THE UNION DIRECTORATE B POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT POST-2015: IMPROVING THE CONTRIBUTION OF PRIVATE FINANCE Abstract This overview of financing for developing countries finds that government spending is the largest domestic resource, domestic private investment is also growing, outflows of private financial resources are very large, real net financial private flows are overstated, and ODA is the largest flow to least developed countries. Global public finance cannot be directly substituted by private finance, as it pays for public goods, is more predictable and counter-cyclical, and can be targeted at the poorest countries. Global private finance mainly goes to higher income countries and has difficultly targeting MSMEs or paying for public services. Leveraging private finance has faced many problems including in proving additionality, intransparency and lack of ownership, and poor evidence of development impact. Instead, we should focus on how international public flows can reduce barriers to private sector investment through investing in essential services, and how the EU can alter policies including by reforming investment treaties, curbing illicit financial flows, supporting fair debt workout mechanisms and developing responsible financing standards.

  • Financing the Sustainable Development Goals: Lessons from Government Spending on the Mdgs
    RESEARCH REPORT FINANCING THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS Lessons from government spending on the MDGs 2015 REPORT Government spending is falling one-third short of MDG needs – and the SDGs will require at least US$1.5 trillion extra a year. Based on lessons from tracking country budgets, this report recommends how the SDGs should be financed: by doubling tax revenue, through radically overhauling global tax rules; doubling concessional development cooperation, and improving its allocation and effectiveness; and raising US$500 billion in innovative public financing. In addition, all spending must be dramatically reoriented to fight inequality, and needs to be much more transparent and accountable to the world’s citizens. Development Finance International (DFI) and Oxfam have collaborated on this Government Spending Watch report to share research results and contribute to public debate on public financing for development, financing the SDGs, and the Financing for Development processes. The report does not necessarily reflect Oxfam or DFI policy positions. The views expressed are those of the authors. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report was written by Matthew Martin and Jo Walker. The research and data team who produce the GSW data consists of Maria Holloway, Lance Karani, Jeannette Laouadi, David Waddock and Jo Walker. Special thanks go to David Waddock for acting as interim data team lead. Rebecca Simson and Paolo de Renzio played a key role in the research underlying Section 5. Earlier data and research contributions, without which GSW would not be possible, were made by Richard Watts, Alison Johnson, Katerina Kyrili and Hannah Bargawi. Key contributions to the compilation and interpretation of the data were made by budget officials in the 66 countries for which GSW has compiled data – too many to mention individually.
