Declaration From The Fourth International Conference On Finance For Development Civil Society Forum

The FfD4 is taking place at a time when the world is reeling with multiple crises: growing inequalities within and between countries, unsustainable debt burdens faced by Global South countries undermining the realization of human rights and the provision of public services, structural gender inequalities, decent work deficit, continued corporate tax avoidance and evasion and illicit financial flows, rise in conflicts and militarism, cuts in official development assistance (ODA) and failure to uphold longstanding commitments, shrinking civic space, the worsening triple planetary crisis, widespread hunger and malnutrition, growing fractures in the multilateral trade system, and rapidly declining international cooperation.

Adolescent and Youth (AY) Addendum to the Global Financing Facility Civil Society Engagement Strategy

The Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health 2016-30 highlights the importance of adolescent health and well-being as being essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by 2030. For adolescents to survive, thrive, and transform their societies, the global community needs to invest in their health and well-being. Today’s adolescents are well-positioned to mobilize their peers, advocate for increased resources for sexual and reproductive health and rights, influence their governments to invest in addressing their needs, and demand accountability for commitments related to their health and development.
