Date: - Location: UNHQ

The DCF side event at the margins of the ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development provides space for stakeholders to discuss the preliminary findings of the DCF Survey on the state of play in effectiveness of international development cooperation.

Now in its fifth round, the biennial DCF Survey supports dialogue and mutual learning. It serves to improve coordination, transparency and alignment of development cooperation with sustainable development strategies that are country-owned and country-led. Its findings inform the work of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Financing for Development as well as the deliberations in the DCF.

The DCF side event will focus on the role of national development cooperation policies in getting better results for sustainable development. The briefing segment will feature key preliminary findings from the survey exercise as well as inputs from government and parliamentary perspectives. This will set the stage for interactive dialogue among panelists and meeting participants. The meeting will conclude with an informal summary highlighting the main points of the discussions and specific action-oriented proposals or ideas.

Speakers will include high-level officials from governments, international and civil society organizations and the study author. The side event will be moderated by Mr. Navid Hanif, Director, Financing for Sustainable Development Office, UNDESA.
