Multistakeholder round table on mobilizing and aligning domestic public resources

First multistakeholder roundtable of the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development taking place in Sevilla from 30 June to 3 July. Moderated by ILO Director-General Gilbert F. Houngbo, the roundtable brings together Heads of State and Government, Ministers of Finance and Foreign Affairs, and Heads of Multilateral Banks to discuss how to raise and manage public revenue more effectively to support national sustainable development strategies. 

Discussions will include fiscal management and capacity building, tax reform and cooperation, combating illicit financial flows, subnational financing, and ways to improve transparency and accountability. The round table will also look at how public development banks can be better leveraged to mobilize long-term financing for sustainable development and how to strengthen Multilateral Development Banks cooperation with these institutions.
