Financement pour le développement durable
Third International Conference on Financing for Development: OECD's contribution
13-16 July 2015 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
High-level policy makers from across the globe gathered to agree on a new framework to finance the ambitious post-2015 development agenda. The conference ended successfully with the adoption of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, agreed upon on 16 July 2015 following months of negotiations between UN member states and with the contribution of international organisations, including the OECD, private sector actors and civil society groups. The Addis Ababa Action Agenda was adopted by the 193 UN Member States attending the Conference under the leadership of Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The agreement marks a milestone in forging an enhanced global partnership to foster universal, inclusive economic prosperity and improve people’s well-being while protecting the environment. The outcomes of the Conference provide a strong foundation for countries to finance and adopt the proposed sustainable development agenda in New York in September, and to reach a binding agreement at the UN climate negotiations in Paris in December.
The Financing for Development process and final outcome document demonstrated a fundamental shift from the 2002 Monterrey declaration, by considering a much broader and comprehensive approach to financing sustainable development centred around the three pillars of the OECD’s contributions on tax, investment and international public finance. The success of the sustainable development agenda, driven by the implementation of 17 sustainable development goals, will hinge on the delivery of this nexus and provides the OECD with an excellent spring board for assisting in the implementation, monitoring and follow-up.
