Dates: 28 April - 1 May 2025
Venue: Trusteeship Council, United Nations Headquarters, New York, USA.
In accordance with General Assembly resolution 78/231, an intergovernmental Preparatory Committee has been established to handle the organizational, procedural, and substantive preparations for the upcoming FfD4 Conference.
The ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development will be held on 28 to 29 April 2025, followed by the Fourth Preparatory Committee (4th PrepCom) Session for the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) from 30 April to 1 May 2025 at Trusteeship Council, UN Headquarters, New York.
On 28 April, in an exceptional joint effort by the President of ECOSOC and the co-chairs of the Intergovernmental Preparatory Committee of FFD4, Ministers and high-level officials will have the opportunity to express their views and foster political momentum for the FFD4 Conference.
The Forum this year assumes added importance and a critical role in mobilizing momentum and concrete solutions for FFD4. Held back-to-back with the 4th FFD Preparatory Committee session, the deliberations of the forum will feed into the discussions on the outcome of the FFD4.
Both events bring together heads of state and government, ministers and high-level government officials as well as senior officials of international organizations. Civil society organizations, the business sector and local authorities will also be represented.
Registered representatives of organizations that have received special accreditation to the FFD process, or that were accredited for a previous International Conference on Financing for Development, are invited to observe the ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development Follow-up that will take place from 28 to 29 April 2025.
