The “Sustainable Financing for Development” sector project advises the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) on the implementation of the “Addis Ababa Action Agenda” (AAAA) and supports the multilateral Financing for Development (FfD) process in its numerous sub-themes at various levels (United Nations, EU, OECD, G20, etc.). The project’s activities primarily focus on three areas of action: 1) International positioning in the policy field of international sustainable development financing, 2) Partnerships and networks, and 3) Analysis and trend monitoring. The preparation and follow-up of the 4th International Financing for Development Conference, which will take place at the end of June 2025, as well as advice on the implementation of a new financing agenda, will guide the work of the sector project in the coming months.
