Follow-up International Conference on Financing for Development to Review the Implementation of the Monterrey Consensus (2008)
At the Financing for Development Conference in Doha in December 2008, Member States reaffirmed the
Monterrey Consensus and adopted, by consensus, the Doha Declaration on Financing for Development.
Co-ordinated and coherent action in responding to the crisis as well as in formulating national development strategies that adequately reflect the interests of developing countries will be important.
