Summary
The Economic and Social Council forum on financing for development follow-up (FfD forum) was held in New York from 18 to 20 April 2016, under the overall theme “Financing for sustainable development: follow-up to the Addis Ababa Action Agenda”. The forum resulted in intergovernmentally agreed conclusions and recommendations (included in E/FFDF/2016/3), which will be fed into the 2016 High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.
