Finance, Integrity and Governance initiative
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP),What is it?
In mid-2025, UN member states will hold the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) in Sevilla, Spain, to agree on an ambitious global financing agenda that advances sustainable development.
To help ensure that FfD4 not only addresses quantity but also quality of financing, UNDP launched its Finance, Integrity and Governance (FIG) Initiative, in close collaboration with UNDESA.
FIG serves as a co-creative knowledge track that is separate from but in support of member states’ FfD4 negotiations.
HIGHLIGHTS
The FIG Initiative consists of three multi-stakeholder symposia that provide stakeholders with a space to examine emerging issues on financial integrity and governance in an informal, Chatham House Rule-based, safe space.
Each symposium is followed by a working paper that summarizes key insights and recommendations that surfaced during the discussions.
The paper has provided a summary of the discussion and policy recommendations offered by participants during the symposium.
