The 2021 Development Cooperation Forum (DCF) will advance international development cooperation that reduces risk, enables recovery and builds resilience in the COVID-19 period and beyond. Watch the DCF spotlight video and see what some of the leading development actors and thinkers have to say about the future of development cooperation in this Decade of Action for the SDGs.
Background
The DCF Secretariat in UNDESA supports analytical work and outreach, high-level symposiums, expert meetings and other events in preparation for the 2021 DCF and for wide dissemination in the UN and beyond.
Convened by the President of ECOSOC, the Forum is open to all Member States and engages all stakeholders, including civil society, private sector, Parliamentarians, local authorities, international and regional organizations and development banks. They work to promote DCF messages and concrete policy recommendations on an ongoing basis, at global, regional, country and local levels.
UN General Assembly mandates ensure that the work of the DCF directly informs the global reviews by the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development and the ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development.
