This webinar showcases the perspectives and innovative ideas of African early-career researchers and students on critical issues surrounding development financing. As the global community prepares for the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), this event provides a platform for emerging voices to critically engage with the UNDESA Elements Paper and its proposals through the lens of Africa’s unique challenges and opportunities.
The discussions will focus on key themes, including debt sustainability, trade, climate finance, and illicit financial flows, evaluating how global frameworks can better align with Africa’s development aspirations. The speakers will offer fresh critiques and propose actionable, context-specific solutions that prioritize transparency, equity, and sustainability. This event is not only an opportunity to amplify the contributions of young African researchers to the global financing for development dialogue but also a call to reimagine development strategies that empower the continent for a resilient and inclusive future.
