CIDSE, represented by our U.S. Member Organisation, Center of Concern, and by our Secretariat, participated at the Interactive Multistakeholder Dialogue with the Intergovernmental Committee of Experts on Sustainable Development Financing
The Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20, “The Future We Want”) has recognized the need for strong support to developing countries to promote sustainable development and for achieving sustainable development goals. An intergovernmental process was established, with support from the United Nations. Read more on the Intergovernmental committee of experts on sustainable development financing (ICEFSD).
On 2-6 December 2013, the ICEFSD met in New York for the second time and organised an interactive dialogue with major stakeholders. CIDSE was present to assess financing needs, consider the effectiveness, consistency and synergies of existing instruments and frameworks, and evaluate additional initiatives, with a view to preparing a report proposing options on an effective sustainable development financing strategy to facilitate the mobilization of resources and their effective use in achieving sustainable development objectives.
