Financing for Development Forum

The 193 UN Member States of the United Nations called for coordinated and decisive global action to arrest the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and rebuild strengthened and resilient economies. The Member States joined together in a consensus outcome document at an informal meeting of the Financing for Development (FfD) Forum of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) today. 

The President of ECOSOC will convene a high-level informal virtual meeting of the ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development at 10 am on 23 April 2020 to advance bold and concerted global action to address the immediate socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 and finance a quick, inclusive and resilient recovery.

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.
