The third International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD3) will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 13-16 July 2015.
FfD3 is mandated by the General Assembly, in resolutions 68/204 and 68/279, to focus on, inter alia: assessing progress in the implementation of the Monterrey Consensus and the Doha Declaration; addressing new and emerging issues; and reinvigorating and strengthening the financing for development follow-up process. High-level political representatives, including Heads of State and Government, and Ministers of Finance, Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation, as well as all relevant institutional stakeholders, non-governmental organizations and business sector entities are expected to attend FfD3.
The Conference will result in a negotiated and agreed outcome, which should constitute an important contribution to the implementation of the post-2015 development agenda. Three formal drafting sessions and a number of informal sessions have already taken place at the UN Headquarters in New York, since January 2015, to draft the outcome document.
