Financing for Development
Strengthening aid transparency and rebuilding trust in multilateralism
The United Nations has identified the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), held in Seville, Spain, 30 June – 3 July 2025, as a pivotal moment for global commitments to close the estimated US$4.2 trillion investment gap required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The conference also aims to reform the international financial system and “rebuild trust in multilateralism”
A strong commitment to aid transparency is crucial to these objectives, ensuring informed decision-making, efficient resource allocation, and strengthened accountability.
IATI is co-hosting an official Side Event in Seville during FfD4.
This side event brings together governments, international organizations, and policy innovators to explore how open, interoperable data platforms and standards can improve data sharing and accessibility, addressing challenges for developing countries (para 63.c). It will spotlight ways in which public and private actors can contribute to, and benefit from, a more coherent and transparent financial data ecosystem—one that links upstream commitments with downstream delivery and puts actionable, real-time information in the hands of decision-makers at all levels.
