Africa must speak with one voice when deciding its priorities for financing of development in the continent, urged Mr Abdalla Hamdok, Deputy Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa at the opening of the 23-24 March Regional Consultation towards the Third International Conference on Financing for Development. Speaking to delegates from government, inter-governmental agencies, civil society, financial institutions, academia and think tanks, Mr Hamdok highlighted the need for “African countries to organise themselves properly, articulate their interests and priorities well.” The consultation is one of several discussions to determine priorities for financing of development in Africa and to devise strategies focusing on sustainable sources and means of funding. The July Conference will convene high-level political representatives, including Heads of State and Government, as well as all relevant institutional stakeholders, non-governmental organizations and private sector entities to discuss, deliberate and negotiate a development finance framework which will constitute an important contribution to and support the implementation of the post-2015 development agenda.
