TJNA, under the umbrella of the Civil Society Financing for Development (CS FfD) Mechanism will be participating in the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) from 26 June to 4 July 2025 in FIBES Sevilla Exhibition and Conference Centre, Spain.
The Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) is a Member State-led process where governments, alongside other stakeholders, come together to develop a framework for financing sustainable development.
There have been three such conferences in the past, each resulting in an outcome document that provided a framework for financing for development. Previous outcome documents included the Monterrey Consensus of 2002, the Doha Declaration of 2008 and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda of 2015.
