Summary:

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Permanent Mission of Denmark and the Fondation pour les études et recherches sur le développement international (Ferdi) cordially invite Ministers/Heads of Delegations as well Ambassadors  to an event to provide insight into the financing strategies of sustainable development and to tackle vulnerabilities in countries most in need. In July 2015, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) was endorsed. It provides a new global framework for financing sustainable development. This ambitious agenda aims to align all financing flows and policies with the vision outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to strengthen the means of implementation to achieve all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Effective follow-up and review of these aims will be crucial to long-term sustainable development and effective implementation of the SDGs. This event will discuss how to provide follow-up and review of the AAAA and the means of implementation to achieve the SDGs and foster continued political will at a global level in support of these efforts.
