2026 ECOSOC Financing for Development Forum

The 2026 ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development Follow-Up (FfD Forum), a key mechanism of the Financing for Development process, will be held on 20-24 April 2026. The Forum will continue the momentum established at the landmark Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, held in June 2025 in Seville, Spain, and play a pivotal role in mobilizing engagement and driving concrete actions under the Seville Commitment.

The 2026 Forum will feature in-depth reviews of four action areas – domestic and international private business and finance, international trade as an engine for development, international financial architecture and systemic issues, and data, monitoring and follow-up – along with a special focus on debt and debt sustainability, international development cooperation and development effectiveness, and domestic public resources. The Forum will also be accompanied by the SDG Investment Fair and the Fin4Dev Dialogues.

IFAD is co-organizing two side events on the margins of the FfD Forum.
