Financing for Development

In December 1999 the UN General Assembly agreed to a collaboration between the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to find ways to improve the financing of development. Recommendations will be assessed and decisions reached at a high level global meeting in 2002. The United Nations has held a series of regional hearings through its Regional Economic Commissions, as well as NGO and private sector hearings in New York. This section of the website provides information on the Financing for Development process, as well as civil society's views and recommendations.
