High-Level Event on Financing for Development in the Era of COVID-19 and Beyond

This event, co-convened by Canada, Jamaica and the United Nations, identified key areas of action to reposition the UN Financing for Development Framework in the context of pandemic-related crisis. The purpose of the initiative was to identify concrete financing solutions to respond to the current pandemic, including on fostering remittances in times of crisis. Proposals for concrete action will be presented at a Ministerial event at the July 2020 High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) with continued actions leading up to the General Assembly session in September and December 2020.
