World Development Information Day

The Country-led Dialogues aim to: create space for INFF-implementing countries and Member States to share feedback on INFF implementation and progress on Sevilla commitments; and allow INFF partners and the INFF Facility to update on how they are responding to country demand and priority requests going forward. No performance or film screening is planned. The event is part of the follow-up to the Sevilla Commitment (FfD4) and supports the mandate to scale up country support on Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs). The INFF Facility is currently the only global mechanism providing coordinated, direct support to countries on INFF implementation. The dialogue links to the FfD Forum, the implementation of FfD4 outcomes, and the launch of a scaled-up INFF Facility in 2026, of which DESA is a founding partner.
