2020 Financing for Development Forum to take new format, SDG Investment Fair cancelled due to COVID-19
In response to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, the annual ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development originally scheduled for 20-23 April, will be held in a new format.
A brief, virtual informal meeting will be convened on 23 April 2020 to acknowledge the outcome document on Financing for Development. Due to the lack of adequate technical solutions at this time, the outcome document will likely be adopted by silence procedure. At a later date, a very brief, formal meeting of the Forum would be convened to “take note” of the decision to approve the outcome document.
