African Group Inputs for Financing for Development (FfD4) | Global Financing Framework

The African Group reaffirms the centrality of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) as a guiding framework for financing sustainable development. However, the existing international financial architecture does not meet the financial needs of African countries, particularly in times of crises. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the global financing system must address systemic challenges such as high debt burdens, trade barriers and financial market volatility.
