One of the key features of the FfD follow-up process is its multi-stakeholder approach. Accordingly, the Financing for Development Office is committed to supporting and facilitating the participation of non-institutional stakeholders, such as civil society, the private sector, national parliaments, local authorities and academia in the FfD Forum. These stakeholders have been involved from the outset in the FfD process by providing important inputs, expertise and proposals to the three International Conferences on Financing for Development (Monterrey, Doha and Addis Ababa) and their follow-up process. Moreover, with their diverse voices and priorities, they will be instrumental in ensuring the full and timely implementation of the FfD outcomes and the delivery of the means of implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. This view has been endorsed most recently at the highest level in the Addis Agenda, which commits to ensure the participation, in the FfD follow-up process, of national parliaments, local authorities, civil society, academia and the private sector, in addition to Member States, relevant Government agencies and institutional stakeholders (para 130). In order to promote sustained substantive engagement of these stakeholders in the preparation of the Forum, the FfD Office has recently launched “Stakeholder workstreams”. The workstreams focus on thematic areas that are of particular interest to non-institutional stakeholders and will provide substantive input to the FfD Forum.
