On May 30th, 2020 The Youth Cafe and Youth Financing for Development Working Group held a dialogue session for young people from across the globe to discuss strategies Member States can use to finance a sustainable risk-informed recovery from the global crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the pandemic has exacerbated existing vulnerabilities. Many countries are facing a decline in investments, growing debt burdens and severely reduced fiscal space. Thus, the session aimed to address the questions:
How do we finance the response to the pandemic?
Which policy options do we have to set the world on a risk informed resilient and sustainable recovery? How do we build back better?
