Workstreams

Since its inception, the IATF has initiated substantive work streams to carry out in-depth analysis on specific issues of interest to the FfD process. In each of these work streams, the Task Force draws on the combined analytical expertise of its member agencies, through background research, dedicated technical meetings, and engagement with outside experts. Through this collaborative work, the Task Force has become a platform for analysis and an exercise in cohesion of the UN system on financing issues.
