2015 will be a landmark year for international development, with the UN General Assembly due to agree new Sustainable Development Goals in September 2015.
This year's CAPE Conference draws on lessons from the Millennium Development Goals to explore how the new development framework should be financed. It will bring together research from both development finance and public financial management, to discuss how the Sustainable Development Goals will affect both these spheres.
Confirmed speakers include Garry Conille (Head UNOPS Africa and former Haitian Prime Minister), Mark Malloch-Brown (former UK Minister and UN Deputy Secretary General), Keiran Holmes (Ex-commissioner for Burundi Revenue Authority), Gargee Ghosh (Director, Development Policy and Finance, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation), Dumisani Masilela (First Commissioner General for the Swaziland Revenue Authority), Dr Saad Shire (Minister of Planning, Somaliland Government), Magdalene Apenteng (Director, Public Investment Division (PID) Ministry of Finance, Government of Ghana), Carolina Rentería (Lead Economist (former Minister of Planning and National Budget Director, Colombia) and Charles Kenny (Senior Fellow, Center for Global Development).
Aiming to gain a better understanding of the country-level ramifications of new global financing agendas, and to provide a reality check on the global policy debates in the coming year, this year's conference will explore the following questions:
Which finance flows are best-suited to assisting particular development objectives?
Which financing sources and instruments have countries used successfully to support previous policy agendas?
Does financing really matter for the achievement of these ambitions, or is its relative importance overstated?
