Measuring South-South cooperation to mobilize financing for SDGs
The session will inform governments and other stakeholders of the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) indicator 17.3.1 on "additional financial resources mobilized for developing countries from multiple sources", adopted in March 2022.
It will also spearhead dialogue to empower Southern countries to report their own data for global debates related to development support and consider how the indicator will help manage and mobilize resources for the recovery from the pandemic and progress towards the 2030 Agenda.
The SDG indicator is based on the first globally agreed voluntary Conceptual Framework to Measure South-South cooperation.
UNCTAD is organizing this session as part of its role to coordinate future testing and refinement of the framework, and global reporting and capacity building based on it.
The work will be carried out under the leadership of Southern countries relying on country-owned mechanisms. Countries will share their experience and expectations.
