What do emerging trends in development finance mean for crisis actors?

DI's webinar ‘What do emerging trends in development finance mean for crisis actors?’ gives crisis actors key information on development finance to better understand what it means for them.

The content in Rob Tew’s presentation (slide 11, ‘Rise in humanitarian aid does not cover fall in other ODA’) was updated on 18 July 2019.

To strengthen joined-up approaches to financing across development and crisis sectors, there is a need for more concrete discussions. Development Initiatives (DI) is running ‘Building coherence between crisis, development and peace actors’, a series of webinars that aim to bring together actors from all sides to lay the foundations for future talks on building greater coherence.

The first webinar ‘What do emerging trends in development finance mean for crisis actors?’ provided actors working in fragile and crisis contexts with information on development financing processes, structures and trends. Participants had the chance to hear from development and crisis finance experts, pose questions and explore the possibilities for joint working towards financing for collective outcomes.

Facilitator David Donoghue, Ireland’s Permanent Representative to the UN until 2017 and co-facilitator of global negotiations culminating in the 2030 Agenda in 2015 and the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants in 2016. David is currently acting as Distinguished Fellow at ODI and on the board of Conciliation Resources.
