Development players from around the world are preparing to meet in Seville for the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4). The conference takes place against the backdrop of a major aid retreat, as governments grapple with how to deliver impact for the world’s poorest amid shrinking public budgets and rising global needs.
In this series, CGD experts present commentary and ideas which speak to the FfD4 agenda—from harnessing remittances and health taxes to reforming how development agencies work together.
As a first step toward doing better, it’s crucial to understand where countries are already delivering—and where there’s room for improvement. With that in mind, this series also features a comparative analysis of how 40 countries perform on the quantity and quality of their development finance.
